An illegal trans immigrant admitted Tuesday to molesting a 14-year-old boy inside the bathroom of a Manhattan bodega last year — but won’t have to do any more time behind bars.
Nicol Alexandra Contreras-Suarez, a 31-year-old Colombian immigrant who was born male, pleaded guilty to second-degree rape in Manhattan Supreme Court for sexually assaulting the teen in East Harlem last year and was promised a sentence of just six months — which has already been served.
That means the creep will be free to go at sentencing on April 27 — unless federal immigration agents are there to slap on the cuffs again to deport them.

The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office said the resolution was reached in close consultation with the victim’s family, sparing the teenager from having to testify to both the grand jury and over several days at trial.
“We expect the defendant to remain detained and be deported following sentencing, due to the felony conviction,” a spokesperson for the DA’s Office said in a statement.
Officials at ICE did not immediately respond to a request for comment Tuesday.
Suarez, who was already wanted in Massachusetts on robbery, prostitution, and weapons charges, followed the teenager into a bodega across the street from Thomas Jefferson Park on Feb. 11, 2025, and raped him, according to prosecutors.

The young victim flagged down bystanders after the attack. Suarez was arrested the next day and charged.
Officials at US Immigration and Customs Enforcement later obtained a detainer to take the sex fiend into custody for deportation once the criminal case is done.
“This creep should’ve never been released into our country,” Tricia McLaughlin, then-Department of Homeland Security assistant secretary, said in a statement after the arrest.

“Thanks to the failed sanctuary policies and [President Joe] Biden’s open-border agenda, this serial criminal was freed to prey on innocent American children — but that ends now,” McLaughlin said. “ICE will not allow predators like Contreras-Suarez to terrorize American citizens.”
Federal immigration officials have feuded with the Big Apple in recent years over the city’s sanctuary status, which limits local cooperation with the feds in civil deportation matters.
