Massachusetts Migrant Father Charged with Raping, Impregnating Daughter

A 42-year-old migrant man is facing charges of aggravated statutory rape of his 14-year-old daughter after she reported being sexually abused while they were living at a state-run shelter in Marlborough. The allegations came to light following the girl's pregnancy, which prompted school officials to notify authorities. A DNA test confirmed the man is '23 trillion times more likely' to be the biological father of the child born last July. The father has been ordered held without bail pending a dangerousness hearing, and he pleaded not guilty during his arraignment. Reports indicate the abuse occurred both during their journey to the U.S. and after their arrival, leading to the girl's removal from his custody. The shelter provider had alerted police after the girl disclosed the abuse and subsequent threats made by her father.
