A migrant child rapist, Andre Tiago Lucas, who was convicted in Brazil for raping a 13-year-old girl, was found residing in a Massachusetts home daycare. He fled to the U.S. after being sentenced to prison in 2016. The daycare center, owned by a woman who is the mother of his children, was shut down following his arrest by ICE in October. The Massachusetts Department of Early Education and Care failed to identify Lucas as a resident during multiple inspections, highlighting gaps in background check procedures for daycare eligibility. Lawmakers are calling for better safeguards.
It's terrifying ... that a Brazilian national fled the country because they were convicted for rape of a 13-year-old and could come to Massachusetts.
The Massachusetts Department of Early Education and Care issued the home daycare's license in March 2022 and inspected the center five times but claimed they found no evidence of Lucas living there.
