An illegal migrant suspected of raping a 5-year-old girl on Long Island was nearly dumped back on the street thanks to local bail-reform and sanctuary laws — but authorities cleverly thwarted the move, sources told The Post on Friday.
The horrific alleged crime occurred after the victim’s mother asked Carlos Aguilar Reynoso — a 27-year-old Guatemalan man who allegedly illegally came into the country — to baby-sit her daughter last month, a source with knowledge of the situation said.
It’s unclear what the suspect’s relationship to the mother is, but when the girl’s mom returned home from work Feb. 1, she noticed her child acting timidly and shying away from her, the source said.
The mom, believing her daughter may have just soiled herself, ended up discovering blood in her underwear, prompting her to immediately take the child to the hospital, the source said.
The child was transferred to a specialty hospital where medical staff collected a rape kit from the tot and was forced to perform surgery on her to repair internal injuries, according to the source.
But with the investigation ongoing and the DNA from the little girl not yet processed, Reynoso could only initially be charged with endangering the welfare of a child — an offense for which prosecutors are not allowed to seek bail under New York bail-reform laws, the source said.
