A 26-year-old Haitian national has been charged with raping a 14-year-old girl at a Massachusetts hotel being used to house illegal immigrants under the Gov. Maura Healey administration.
Cory Alvarez was arraigned on the charges of child rape on Thursday, March 14, at the Hingham District Court. The alleged assault took place at the Comfort Inn in Rockland, according to a press release issued by police. Rockland is located about 22 miles south of Boston.
Patrol Lt. Thomas MacDonald of the Rockland Police Department told The Epoch Times that since the state secured the 100-room hotel as a shelter for illegal immigrants in October, the police have taken on a heavy volume of calls related to the property.
“We’re there a lot, he said.
Lt. McDonald said that Mr. Alvarez, the victim, and her family are among the illegal immigrants being housed at the Rockland hotel.
The attack in Massachusetts has drawn national outrage with some levying blame against President Joe Biden for it.
Others place blame more locally such as state Rep. Peter Durant (R-Spencer) who berated Ms. Healey and her administration for the assault.
“I am appalled and deeply sadded by the news of rape at the migrant shelter in Rockland,” Mr. Durant told The Epoch Times. “This heinous act with the shelter is not only acceptable, but also indicates systemic failures of the Healey Administration.”
Gov. Healey did not respond to inquiries from The Epoch Times about the girl’s rape.
Her administration has been under fire, mostly by conservatives, for flooding the state with unvetted illegal immigrants and overusing taxpayers money to buy up hotels and other housing to shelter them,
The Democratic governor claims that she is mandated to provide housing for migrants under the state’s right-to-shelter laws. Republicans disagree, saying the 1973-enacted law was intended to house U.S. citizens only.
Mr. Durant, who has led efforts to pass amendments clarifying the that right to shelter law applies to U.S. citizens only, said the governor’s claims are disingenuous since she has been part of efforts to block such measures.
Ms. Healey, who declared a state of emergency last year when the state hit its 7,500 cap as more illegal immigrants poured into the state, has called for sympathy for them, saying most are good people, escaping brutal conditions and needing the support of Americans.
Last August, her administration even asked Bay Staters to consider opening up their homes to sponsor migrants.
“If you have an extra room or suite in your home, please consider hosting a family. Housing and shelter is our most pressing need to become a sponsor family,” said Lt. Governor Kim Driscoll in a press release.
Mr. Durant told The Epoch Times that the rape at the Rockland hotel is a tragic sign that the flow of illegal immigrants into the state needs to be stopped, instead of looking for more places to put them.
He said he has received countless reports that demonstrate migrant shelters across Massachusetts are plagued with a pandemonium of serious problems—including drug and sex trafficking, violent crimes, outbreaks of fires, and the spread of diseases.
Last week, Massachusetts health officials confirmed that there was a “small” outbreak of chickenpox at a 400-person capacity migrant shelter recently set up in a popular rec center in Boston’s historic black neighborhood of Roxbury.
The recent March 13 rape of a 14-year-old girl in Massachusetts at a state-run migrant shelter falls on the same week Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) agents from the Boston division of the U.S Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) apprehended several migrants living illegally in the state with sexual assault convictions in their native countries.
On the same day Mr. Alvarez is alleged to have raped the 14-year-old girl at the Rockland hotel, ICE officials arrested a Brazilian fugitive found living illegally in Framingham.
It also comes amid outrage over last month’s brutal murder of 22-year-old Laken Riley, allegedly at the hands of a Venezuelan man found to be living in the U.S. illegally.
A week prior to the rape of the Massachusetts girl, President Joe Biden flubbed up Ms. Riley’s name when Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) heckled him to “ say her name” during his annual State of the Union address.
Instead, President Biden said the name Lincoln Riley.
Prior to Ms. Riley’s murder was the 2022 rape and murder of 20-year-old Kayla Hamilton in Aberdeen, Maryland, reportedly by a 16-year-old MS-13 gang member from El Salvador found to be living illegally in the United States.
Because he was a minor, he was placed in foster care housing by health and human services workers.
The migrant, who had visible MS13 tattoos, according to ERO from Maryland, was placed in the same group home as Ms. Hamilton—described by her mother as “functionally autistic.” It is where he is alleged to have raped, then murdered her.
Members of the violent gang have also been discovered living illegally in Massachusetts.
On Feb. 19, Boston ICE agents arrested a 44-year-old MS-13 gang member, also from El Salvador, found to be living illegally in Foxboro.
Other child rapists have also been previously arrested in Massachusetts.
In November, Saulo Cardona Ferreira, wanted for raping a 5-year-old in his home country of Brazil, was arrested by ICE on the swanky atoll of Martha’s Vineyard, a self-proclaimed sanctuary community.
In addition to hotels, rec centers, and offices, Ms. Healey has housed illegal immigrants in places that include Boston’s Logan Airport where two of the planes involved in the 9/11 attack departed from. The attacks were found to be carried out by Islamic terrorists from Saudi Arabia living in America unlawfully under expired temporary visas.
William Gheen, Founder of Americans For Legal Immigration PAC (ALIPAC), told The Epoch Times that the saddest part of the rape of the 14-year-old girl in Massachusetts is that it is probably just “the beginning.”
“The number of victims of these open-border government policies, corrupt politicians, and sinister power groups are increasing and things are about to get worse with Venezuelan prisoners and Haitian cannibal gangs on their way!” he said.
