Horrific: Convicted Child Rapist Who Fled Justice in Brazil Found Living Illegally in MA Home Daycare

The owner of a Cape Cod, Massachusetts home daycare center has closed her business after she was outed for harboring an illegal immigrant—he also happens to be baby daddy to her two children—who was convicted in Brazil for the rape of a 13-year-old girl. Instead of facing justice in his homeland, the child rapist illegally crossed the border into the United States and holed up in the home that housed the daycare center where, presumably, he came into regular contact with the children enrolled in the daycare program.
Local media has identified the daycare owner as Franciele Nunes. Nunes found herself on the media's radar last October when the illegal, Andre Tiago Lucas, was picked up by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Enforcement and Removal Operations Boston after eluding justice for his heinous crime. Lucas was convicted in 2016 of the "rape of a vulnerable person" and was handed a sentence of nine years and four months; after fleeing his homeland, Tiago Lucas ended up in Massachusetts and shacked up with Franciele Nunes.

“This Brazilian fugitive has been convicted of a heinous crime in his native country. Rather than face the consequences for his actions, he chose to flee, falsely believing he could evade justice in Massachusetts,” said acting Field Office Director Patricia H. Hyde of ERO Boston. “ERO Boston will continue to prioritize public safety by arresting and removing egregious noncitizen offenders.”
