A series of alleged sex crimes against migrants has Nantucket parents fearing for their children

Nantucket Island parents are officially panicking after federal agents apprehended five illegal immigrants for a laundry list of alleged crimes, including child sexual assault.

Among these criminals is a member of the vicious MS-13 gang.

One of the Massachusetts parents living on Nantucket, an island off Cape Cod, is Erik Evans. He has lived there for 31 years and has an 8-year-old daughter. The ICE arrests show how much the region has changed in recent years and he spoke to Fox News Digital about it. Tourists leave at the end of summer, but illegal immigrants stay and commit heinous crimes almost unknown in the region.

“How are these last five people who were arrested, who are rapists and (violent criminals) who work here, who walk through our grocery store and walk past us at the gas station? It’s just…it’s not what Nantucket used to be,” Evans commented sadly.

“I’m very happy that ICE was there and was able to do its job and get rid of at least some of the bad people that are on the island. There are obviously many more. And as a community, that scares me. As a father, this really scares me and I wish more could be done,” Evans added.

It’s a sentiment felt across the country as the Biden/Harris administration has brought in millions of illegal immigrants and seeded them into cities and communities across the country. Crime has skyrocketed and parents around the world now fear for their children. But when it’s in wealthy areas like Martha’s Vineyard, Nantucket and Cape Cod, it makes headlines. Not so much when it’s in rural America.

Evans is a construction worker. He noted that Nantucket’s “wealthy seasonal residents who want ‘everything done yesterday’ have attracted an influx of illegal migrants,” according to Fox News Digital.

“Tommy Hilfiger, former Secretary of State John Kerry, actor Ben Stiller and actress Kathie Lee Gifford are among the rich and powerful who own homes on this idyllic island of about 14,000 people,” reported the media.

“They can chop wood or hit nails,” Evans noted. “And, you know, I wonder who hires these people. Do they do background checks?

Cheap labor and the attempt to change voter demographics have brought in predators who now stalk the island looking for children.

“On September 10, Bryan Daniel Aldana-Arevalo, a 28-year-old Salvadoran migrant, was charged with one count of rape of a child with a 10-year age difference and two counts of indecent assault and assault and battery on a child under 14,” Fox News Digital wrote.

According to RO Boston Field Office Director Todd Lyons, Aldana-Arevalo’s alleged victim was only 12 years old.

“That day, Aldana-Arevalo and Elmer Sola, another Salvadoran migrant charged with 11 counts of sex crimes against a child, which Lyons says took place on Nantucket, were quietly taken to the mainland, in handcuffs, via a ferry,” Fox News Digital said.

“Sola was arrested, charged and released with an ankle monitor on August 14 on the condition that he stay away from the victim and her family, according to the Nantucket Current. But nine days later, he returned to court after allegedly violating the pretrial conditions of his release,” the outlet continued.

And the list of sexual perverts who are illegal immigrants continues to grow.

“On September 11, agents returned to this iconic vacation spot to arrest illegal Brazilian migrant Geon do Amaral Belafronte and illegal Guatemalan immigrant Felix Alberto Perez-Gomez. Both committed sex crimes against Nantucket residents, Lyons said,” Fox News Digital reported.

“Belafronte entered the United States legally in 2018, but left of his own accord after the alleged assault in 2021. He re-entered the country illegally and was arrested on an arrest warrant in March. After his arraignment, Nantucket District Court released him on $500 cash bail or $5,000 surety bond, according to court records and the Boston ERO,” the outlet claimed.

“According to a police report reviewed by the Nantucket Current, Belafronte pinned his alleged victim to the ground with his hands on her head and told her ‘I’m going to rape you’ as he licked her lips with his tongue while She kept her mouth shut,’” Fox News said.

Then there’s notorious MS-13 gang member Angel Gabriel Deras-Mejia from El Salvador. He was arrested on September 12 and is considered a “significant threat to the residents of Nantucket.”

“Deras-Mejia was arrested at Discovery Playground on Old South Road in July. Nantucket police wrote that he was “drunk and swearing, waving his arms, shouting loudly and distracting all civilians who were at the scene” and left the children at the scene crying. Apparently, he and his child’s mother were arguing over who would take their child home, according to the Nantucket Current. In August, he was arrested again for assault and battery on a member of his family,” the media further explained.

Another father, who wished to remain anonymous, said one of the gang members was arrested right outside his daughter’s preschool.

“It’s a little scary to know that there are people like that living here,” the father told Fox News Digital. “Some people’s reaction is that ‘(immigrants here) are scared (after the ICE arrests).’ Well, I have kids and I think it’s scary that these people live here.

Meanwhile, residents are apparently afraid to speak out in support of ICE.

Evans fears for her child’s safety these days: “My daughter goes to school and after school she goes to the Boys and Girls Club. But I mean, they walk there. … And given the number of children, there are never enough chaperones or people who can really keep an eye on all these children.

He also pointed out that alarm system companies now have a booming business on the island.

“Our local newspaper appears every Thursday. And the crime reporting…is considerably greater in recent years than it was before,” he commented. “There are always at least 15 to 20 different people in the court report, and these episodes come from numerous DUIs, OUI arrests, and numerous home invasions. Domestic abuse drugs.

“Obviously, you know, we don’t really know where a safe place is anymore,” Evans lamented. “I never anticipated what we have now. And the situation will only get worse before it gets better.
