BRIGHTON, MA — U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has arrested Sostenes Perez-Lopez, 59, an illegal Guatemalan national charged with two counts of indecent assault and battery on a child in Massachusetts.

Perez was taken into custody on Feb. 18 by ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) in Boston. He had previously been arrested and arraigned on Nov. 29, 2024, and was ordered held at the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Department with bail set at $8,000.
