Federal prosecutors say an illegal immigrant from Honduras who has been removed from the country five times, has now been indicted on charges he tried to lure children to the home in Wilkinsburg where he has been staying.
Prosecutors say 41-year-old Ever Antonio Cerrato-Orellano tried to lure a group of kids into the home last summer, and as they rode away on their bikes, claimed he was a police officer.
If convicted, he faces up to ten years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000.
“Ever Cerrato-Orellano has remained undeterred from criminal conduct despite his numerous removals from the United States and multiple convictions here,” said United States Attorney Rivetti. “Our office remains committed to working with our law enforcement partners to prosecute recidivist offenders like Cerrato-Orellano who blatantly disregard the laws of the United States and pose an unacceptable danger to innocent members of our communities.”
Cerrato-Orellano was previously deported five times between 2010-2016
