ICE seeks custody of woman convicted for sexually abusing middle-school boy, agency says
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is seeking custody of Rebeca Fratila-Ilies, a woman convicted of sexually abusing a middle-school boy, citing her illegal immigrant status from Romania. Fratila-Ilies, a lawful permanent resident, was convicted of sex crimes against a child and is currently in removal proceedings.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is seeking custody of Rebeca Fratila-Ilies, convicted of sexually abusing a middle-school boy. ICE identified her as an illegal immigrant from Romania. Fratila-Ilies was convicted of two counts of carnal knowledge of a child and statutory rape in Staunton, Virginia, and sentenced to 10 years. She was later released early and arrested in North Carolina for a probation violation on March 12, 2025. ICE lodged an immigration detainer against her on April 17, citing her amenability to removal due to her sex crime convictions. Fratila-Ilies came to the U.S. as a child and was granted a green card in 2006, but her lawful permanent resident status is considered invalid due to her mother's fraudulent asylum case. An immigration judge ordered her removed in absentia in 2017, but she was granted relief from removal in 2022, before her sex offense convictions.
