Wilson Castillo Diaz is accused of raping the girl on Oct. 16, said Nassau County Police Department, per New York Post.

It’s not known what relationship there was between Diaz and the victim. Cops say the girl was taken to hospital for evaluation after the alleged assault.

Diaz was arrested by U.S. border agents but was later released after being served a notice to appear in front of an immigration judge.

The accused failed to appear for his immigration court hearing.

Cops had already informed Immigration and Customs Enforcement of Diaz’s arrest. The accused was hit with a number of charges including rape, attempted rape, and endangering the welfare of a child.

Diaz is currently behind bars on a $200,000 bond.
