Haitian migrant accused of raping disabled teen in Massachusetts arrested again after being released on $500 bail

A Haitian migrant charged with the rape of a 15-year-old disabled girl in Massachusetts has been arrested again after he was previously released on $500 bail after the suspected crime took place at a hotel in Rockland, Mass. 

According to Fox reporter Bill Melugin, Immigration and Customs Enforcement have arrested Corey Alvarez, 26. who came into the US using the Biden-Harris administration's immigration "parole" program for Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans. Alvarez was previously released when a court did not honor an ICE detainer filed against him in Massachusetts.  

In a press release, ICE confirmed that Alvarez was arrested by Enforcement and Removal Operations Boston on August 13 near his Brockton residence. Customs and Border Protection had admitted Alvarez into the country legally on June 26, but he violated the terms of his admittance, ICE said. Alvarez remains in ERO custody.

“Cory Bernard Alvarez has been charged with victimizing a minor in a Massachusetts migrant shelter,” said ERO Boston Field Office Director Todd M. Lyons. “He will have his day in court and ERO Boston will continue to cooperate with the criminal court system in Massachusetts, but we cannot allow any significant noncitizen threat to the children of our communities to potentially reoffend. ERO Boston will continue to prioritize public safety by arresting and removing egregious noncitizen offenders from New England.”

Alvarez’s case was covered heavily back in March when the rape initially occurred. Alvarez bailed out with $500 on the condition that he would be confined to his home with a GPS monitor, however, he was able to avoid the police and escaped house arrest. 

When Alvarez came to the US, he was supposed to be with a sponsor from New Jersey, but ended up in a hotel with other immigrants in Rockland where the rape occurred. Alvarez was initially arrested March 13 and pleaded not guilty to one count each of aggravated rape of a child with a 10-year age difference.  

The Plymouth County DA’s office, which is prosecuting Alvarez, said in a statement "As part of the Alvarez case, for months now, our office has repeatedly asked questions of state and federal officials about specifics of the CHNV process. We have received little to no answers. There is clearly a reason that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security has paused the issuance of travel authorizations for new CHNV beneficiaries while it undertakes a massive review of the process." 

The DA's office in Plymouth is set to return to court next Thursday on the case. According to the Boston Herald, 15-year-old disabled girl said of the crime, “He raped me ...  I asked him to leave me alone, but he didn’t stop.”
