She had been previously charged by Providence Police on February 21 with two felony charges — Indecent Solicitation of a Child and Trafficking of a Minor.
She was on bail and had been attending Mount Pleasant High School. According to Providence Police sources, she had been scheduled to graduate in June.
According to Rhode Island state court records, the case was not scheduled to come before the Court again until October 17, 2025. Court records show she is 18 years of age and will turn 19 in December of this year.
“Vivian Gisselle Soriano-Neto apparently trafficked a child for nefarious reasons,” said ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Boston acting Field Office Director Patricia H. Hyde. “Children are among the most vulnerable members of society and anyone who would do them harm represents a significant threat to our community. ICE Boston will continue to prioritize public safety by arresting and removing criminal alien offenders from New England.”
