A 26-year-old man living in a hotel housing migrants in Rockland is being held without bail on a child rape charge, accused of raping a 15-year-old girl, the district attorney said Thursday.
Cory B. Alvarez, of Haiti, pleaded not guilty at his arraignment Thursday in Hingham District Court on one count of aggravated rape of a child, Plymouth County District Attorney Tim Cruz said. He was held without bail pending the outcome of a dangerousness hearing scheduled for March 22.
At approximately 7:06 p.m. Wednesday night, Rockland Police responded to the Comfort Inn at 850 Hingham St. for a report of a sexual assault, Cruz said. The Comfort Inn is currently part of a state/federal program to house migrant families, and Alvarez lived at that address.
When officers arrived, they found the teenage victim, who was then taken by ambulance to South Shore Hospital for treatment, Cruz said.
The girl, who only speaks Haitian Creole, told investigators through a translator she went to Alvarez’s room so he could help her with apps on a tablet before he forced himself on her.
The alleged victim told police, “I asked him to leave me alone, but he didn’t stop.”
