No bail for man from Marlborough migrant shelter who's accused of raping his daughter
MARLBOROUGH — A man whom police allege raped his own teen daughter, impregnating her, while they were staying at a migrant shelter last year will be held without bail for at least 120 days. Marlborough District Court Judge Janet McGuiggan deemed the man a danger to the public. The Daily News is not identifying the man so as not to also identify the victim of a sexual assault. The man's defense attorney, Julie Buszuwski, did not contest her client being held. Marlborough police arrested the man last weekend in Ayer after an investigation that began last May. Earlier: Man living in Marlborough migrant shelter is charged with impregnating teen daughter Eliot Community Human Services, which operates migrant shelters at the Holiday Inn and Extended Stay hotels in Marlborough, contacted police about an incident that occurred in April 2024, according to a redacted report from the Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities Division of Housing Stabilization. According to the report, Lexington-based Eliot discovered texts sent by a girl who lived at a shelter to someone indicating that she was pregnant 'in the past by her father,' and that her father had sex with her 'multiple times,' both in the U.S. and on the way to the country. Eliot staff removed the girl from her father's custody and, after he allegedly became aggressive and threatened the staff, the man was removed from the Marlborough shelter and sent to another one, the name of which was not disclosed. He was arraigned Monday in Marlborough District Court. The man, who is charged with two counts of aggravated statutory rape of a child, is due back in court on March 28 for a pretrial hearing.

Massachusetts migrant shelter resident charged with impregnating his teen daughter
A Massachusetts migrant shelter resident has been arrested and is being charged with raping and impregnating his own teenage daughter while staying at a government-funded shelter. The MetroWest Daily News reported that the man, who has not been identified by police to protect the identity of his daughter and victim, raped his daughter repeatedly, both during their journey to the U.S. and while in the country. The immigrant was staying at a shelter run by Eliot Community Human Services, which operates two government-funded shelters at Holiday Inn and Extended Stay hotels in Marlborough, Massachusetts, in the Boston area. Boston Mayor Silent On Sanctuary City Policies Amid Migrant Crime Reports According to The MetroWest Daily News, Marlborough Police arrested the immigrant last week, following reports of his crimes being filed by shelter staff in May 2024. The outlet reported that the teen had sent text messages indicating she was pregnant "in the past by her father," and that "her father had sex with her multiple times, both on the journey to the U.S. and in the U.S." Read On The Fox News App The Marlborough District Court arraigned the immigrant on Monday, charging him with one count of aggravated rape of a child. District Judge Meghan Spring ordered him held without bail pending another hearing on Friday, which will determine if he is a danger to the public. This comes after Jon Fetherson, a former director of the Marlborough migrant shelter, spoke out about what he said were incidents of widespread violence, child sexual assault and rape at shelters in the state. Blue City Residents Blast New 2,200-Bed Mega Migrant Shelter As 'Dumping Ground' The Maine Wire reported in December that shelter staff determined to separate Joseph from his daughter and he was given a taxpayer-funded Lyft ride to another shelter in Worcester, Massachusetts. The Maine Wire reported that after being moved, Joseph started yelling and making threatening gestures at the shelter staff. Click Here For More Immigration Coverage Massachusetts is a "right to shelter" state with laws mandating the government provide housing to immigrants with no other means to obtain housing. Massachusetts is also a migrant "sanctuary" jurisdiction that prohibits police and law enforcement in the state from cooperating or assisting ICE and federal authorities in enforcing immigration law. This is not the first time a Massachusetts immigrant shelter has been used for illegal, criminal activity. In January, Revere Police arrested Dominican national Leonardo Andujar Sanchez, 28, after he was caught with an AR-15 and about $1 million worth of fentanyl in a state-subsidized hotel room. In response, Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey, a Democrat, has expressed outrage over the abuse of the state's shelter system and called for the legislature to change the system's rules to limit illegal immigrants staying in shelters.
