This is the most recent incident of a crime purportedly committed by an unauthorized immigrant.
According to Iowa court records that news was able to obtain, Junior Manuel Dubon Benitez, 18, was accused of second-degree sexual abuse. The claimed event, which took place in February, concerned “sexual abuse upon Jane Doe, a 12-year-old child.”
The Washington Examiner broke the story of the documents first, stating that on May 14, Benitez entered a guilty plea in Iowa District Court located in Black Hawk County.
Fox News Digital was informed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) In April 2022, Dubon Benitez, a native of Honduras, entered the country illegally through Hidalgo, Texas.
According to ICE, the prison has given it a detainer, which is a request that, upon his release, the agency turn him over so that it can start removal proceedings.
The accusations coincide with an ongoing southern border crisis that has gained national attention due in part to many high-profile incidents that are purportedly the result of illegal immigration.
Twelve-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray died in Houston last month, and two illegal immigrants from Venezuela were accused of capital murder. Before being bound and executed, the authorities claimed that she had been “lured” beneath a Houston bridge.
