Guatemalan citizen arrested and charged with raping child in Massachusetts – Boston 25 News

Federal authorities said he unlawfully entered the United States on an unknown date and location and without inspection, admission or parole by a U.S. immigration official.

“Yader Alexander Morales-Quevedo will have his day in court, but he faces very serious charges,” Boston Field Office Enforcement and Removal Director Todd Lyons said in a statement. “He posed a serious threat to children in our Massachusetts communities. ERO Boston will continue to prioritize public safety by arresting and removing egregious non-citizen criminals from our New England neighborhoods.”

Morales-Quevedo was arraigned on the charge of rape of a child in New Bedford District Court on August 30, 2022. The court later upgraded the charges and he was arraigned on the charge of rape of a child on January 3, 2023, in Bristol County Superior Court and for a child in a nude, lewd pose/exhibit, officials say.
