Haitian illegal immigrant convicted for raping, impregnating his 14-year-old daughter in Massachusetts at taxpayer funded shelter

A Haitian illegal immigrant living in a taxpayer-funded shelter in Massachusetts has confessed to raping and impregnating his 14-year-old daughter.

On July 11, 44-year-old Ronald Joseph pleaded guilty to aggravated rape of a child, per Fox News. Joseph had been living in a government-run hotel shelter in Marlborough, Massachusetts, where he repeatedly sexually assaulted his daughter between 2023 and 2024. He was not arrested until January 2025 and has been held without bail since then. The abuse was reported by the shelter’s then-manager, Jon Fetherston.

Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan and Marlborough Police Chief David Giorgi confirmed Joseph’s guilty plea Thursday. Judge Kenneth Salinger sentenced him to 12 to 15 years in prison.

As part of the investigation, authorities collected a buccal swab from Joseph after the victim gave birth. The DA’s office stated, "Those samples were sent to a forensic testing laboratory, and on January 24, 2025, it was determined that not only was the defendant the biological father of the victim, it was also twenty-three trillion times more likely than not, that he was the biological father of the victim's baby.”

Fetherston sent a letter last month to US Attorney General Pam Bondi urging the Department of Justice to investigate the state’s shelter system. In the letter, he warned of "a disturbing pattern of criminal activity, sexual assaults, financial abuse, and the widespread use of no-bid contracts."

"As of today, I have not received a response from Attorney General Bondi's office, but I remain hopeful that justice will prevail. I'm not looking for political theater — I'm seeking accountability for the horrific abuses that have taken place," Fetherston told the outlet. "The system failed these vulnerable families, and those responsible — whether they're shelter administrators, state officials, or private contractors — must be held to account. If Bondi or the DOJ won't act, I'll keep pushing until someone does. The tragedies inside these shelters must end, and silence is not an option."

And these are the people liberals want to bring in by the millions. These are the people they weep and sob for.

Did she keep the Baby? In cases of incest, many women don’t want to, if given a choice.

What’s wrong with the state shelter system? The shelter manager reported the abuse.

Imagine if Massachusetts gave that family an apartment. The poor girl would have no protection.

There are a number of contenders for the worst people in the world. Some are possibly right here in America.

This monster certainly makes the case for forced castration. Hopefully, his prison BFFs will show him the error of his way and after he’s well used, deport his sorry behind to the jungles of Africa.

Y’see, THIS is where helicopter rides to 49 miles offshore and a mysterious fall in the fog should become the norm...

He’ll never hurt another person, and we feed the fish.

RE: Joseph had been living in a government-run hotel shelter in Marlborough, Massachusetts...

Van Hollen: So he’s just a Marlborough Man. I can bring him a pack of my cigarettes and a plaid sport shirt, have a few drinks with him, and get his release under way with Schumer and Jeffries with a district judge gaining his release.

Would Trump still be vilified for calling this immigrant “not their best” ?
