Haitian Illegal Immigrant Charged With Raping Pregnant Woman at Massachusetts Migrant Motel

A Haitian man in the U.S. illegally was arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for allegedly raping a pregnant woman at a Massachusetts migrant hotel.

Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) Boston apprehended 34-year-old Marc Kervens Beauvais Aug. 13 in the city of Peabody, north of Boston, nearly two weeks after he was arrested on charges of aggravated rape, two counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon on a pregnant victim and attempt to commit a crime.

According to multiple law enforcement sources, the rape happened inside a migrant hotel.

Beauvais was arrested by the Peabody Police Department July 31 for the offenses and was arraigned Aug. 1 in Peabody District Court.

While he was in custody, ERO Boston sought an immigration detainer against Beauvais.

During a court hearing Tuesday, Beauvais was released on his own recognizance by a judge, but ICE had officers in the courtroom immediately arrest him.

ICE says Beauvais was arrested by Border Patrol June 26, 2021, near Del Rio, Texas, after he crossed into the U.S. illegally. He was then released into the U.S. with a notice to report for processing.
