‘Rideshare Rapist’ Suspect Is Illegal, Found Hiding in Sanctuary City

An illegal alien and suspected serial rapist called the “rideshare rapist” was arrested in San Francisco, and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is set to deport him if he’s released by the sanctuary city.

Orlando Vilchez Lazo, a 36-year-old citizen of Peru, is accused of raping at least four female victims by tricking them into his car while posing as a Lyft driver.

Vilchez Lazo’s DNA, according to police, matches cases involving four victims so far.

One of the rapes happened in 2013, while the other three occurred this year.

Vilchez Lazo was denied bail while authorities investigated how he was able to pass a background check, Fox News reported.
