A Brazilian woman in the United States illegally and charged with sex crimes against a Massachusetts child has been handed over to federal custody, authorities said Monday.
Ilma Leandro De Oliveira, 53, was arrested in Falmouth, 70 miles south of Boston, on March 20 by agents with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the FBI, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF).

“Ilma Leandro De Oliveira is charged with seven different crimes regarding the sexual victimization of a child in our Massachusetts community,” said ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Boston acting Field Office Director Patricia H. Hyde. “These are crimes we simply will not tolerate.”
De Oliveira was arrested by U.S. Border Patrol agents on Sept. 20, 2007, after she illegally entered the United States near Laredo, Texas. She was served with a notice and order of expedited removal and deported on Dec. 27, 2007.
