A 49-year-old Ecuadorian man was arrested in East Hampton on Friday after an investigation into allegations that a person was raped multiple times. The case matters locally amid debate over East Hampton’s limits on police cooperation with federal authorities on civil immigration enforcement.

Police said Wilfrido Alberto Maurath Tacuri was arrested by the town’s detective division and was due to be arraigned at East Hampton Town Justice Court on Friday. The alleged victim reported the incidents at a home on Muir Boulevard near Three Mile Harbor; the person’s identity has not been released, and the investigation is ongoing. The Department of Homeland Security said Tacuri entered the US at an unknown date and location. In June, Representative Nick LaLota threatened to withhold $9 million in federal infrastructure funding over East Hampton’s sanctuary policies.
