An illegal immigrant is accused of sexually assaulting a 10-year-old student at an Arizona elementary school while impersonating a doctor, The Daily Wire has learned.
Abel Kai Gblah, 25, who hails from Liberia, allegedly waltzed into Orangewood Elementary School in Phoenix last week and lured the young girl into a classroom where he allegedly violated her, the Department of Homeland Security told The Daily Wire.
The young girl told police that Gblah claimed to be a doctor and said that he needed to perform tests, according to KTAR News.
She was eventually able to push him away before he ran from the school. Police arrested Gblah at his nearby home.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement has since lodged a detainer with the Maricopa County Jail, asking the local authorities to hand him over for deportation if he’s to be released, the Department of Homeland Security said.
“This monster sexually assaulted a 10-year-old girl in her own elementary school. Case in point: if ICE officers were to ever go into an elementary school it would be to arrest a depraved criminal like this,” Assistant Homeland Security Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement shared with The Daily Wire.
That should’ve been enough to secure his deportation, said McLaughlin.
“The Biden administration failed this innocent little girl. The moment this criminal alien was arrested for child sex crimes in 2021, he should have become a removal priority. The Biden Administration should have never allowed this dangerous creep to roam free and terrorize an innocent child,” she said.

The alleged perp “gained access behind a student who was buzzed in through the main entrance” of the school and was on campus for roughly 10 minutes when he carried out the attack, the Washington Elementary School District said in a statement. Since the incident, a school employee has been placed on leave amid an internal investigation.
“The school and district understand how concerning situations like this can be,” the school district said, adding, “The school administrator will be working closely with staff and District Security to review safety procedures to ensure they are doing everything possible to keep Orangewood a safe place for students and staff. Additionally, District Security will be on campus for the remainder of the week.
“School and District administrators truly appreciate the Phoenix Police Department’s quick response to the matter. We are beyond grateful for their help and support and we are thankful they were able to apprehend this individual so quickly. The school and district are working closely with the child and the child’s family to provide any and all resources and support that they might need,” they said.
Gblah now faces charges of sex assault, abduction, lewd and lascivious acts with a minor, and kidnapping a minor with intent to sexually assault.
