Two Men Charged With Raping 11-Year-Old

POSTED: 9:19 a.m. EDT August 22, 2002 UPDATED: 1:36 p.m. EDT August 22, 2002

NEW BEDFORD, Mass. -- Two men were charged with raping an 11-year-old girl after a night of drugs and drinking in a West End apartment.

Michael J. Duarte, 24, and Eric Tavares, 20, are accused of raping the sixth-grader in Duarte's third-floor apartment at 593 Cottage St.

The girl's mother told News Channel 10's Martin Morenz that her daughter had alcohol poured down her throat until she lost consciousness. She said the girl's clothes were burned and that she was repeatedly raped.

Duarte was released Wednesday night after posting a reduced bail of $5,000.

The girl was treated at Hasbro Children's Hospital in Providence and released.

The girl's mother (pictured with News Channel 10's Martin Morenz) said her daughter claimed she was going to a sleep-over at a friend's house the night of Aug. 10, but instead left with a 17-year-old girl.

The two girls ended up in Duarte's apartment, where he said he and two other men were drinking and smoking marijuana.

Duarte said the 11-year-old told everyone there she was 16, and played drinking games with Tavares and a neighbor.

Duarte told Morenz that he went to sleep and when he woke up, the girl and Tavares were asleep, naked on his living room couch.

Tavares, of 60 Merrimack St., remained in custody Wednesday night and could not be reached for comment.

Duarte said the girl had burn marks on her body and that his friends tried to burn her clothes to get rid of any evidence.

The victim's mother called to check up on the supposed sleep-over, and when she discovered the girl had not been there, she called the police. She said when her daughter arrived home, she screamed at her about lying and about sneaking out.

According to the mother, Duarte did more than see his friends with the girl, he "did everything to her, he took my baby's virginity."

"Burned her with a lighter, burned her clothes, poured alcohol down her throat until she passed out, then he took turns raping her," she said.

The mother said she seeks justice for her daughter, she said "they took a part of me I thought no one would ever take, and they took my baby, she's 11 years old."

Judge Turcotte originally ordered Duarte held on $100,000 bail on charges of aggravated rape, performing an unnatural act with a child and providing liquor to someone under 21.

Superior Court Judge Nonnie S. Burnes reduced his bail to $5,000 on Tuesday.

Tavares was being held Wednesday night in lieu $50,000 bail. He is charged with aggravated rape and providing liquor to a minor.

Sicko freaks indeed. One curiosity, however...

"According to the mother, Duarte did more than see his friends with the girl, he "did everything to her, he took my baby's virginity."

Leads me to think that the victim may have been black. Black mothers almost always refer to their offspring, even after they're grow up to be adults, as "my babies."

Not that it matters, but this crime of violence may have had denigration as a motive.

Who the heck confuses an 11 year old with a 16 year old?!

Sadistic pedophile bastards.

That's a tough way to learn a lesson about lying to your mom and sneaking off with someone much older than you.

They need to castrate these freaks.

Five grand? $5,000 bail? Are you folks in the North East starting to see why the rest of the country makes fun of you? Only in the North East and California could a child rapist expect a 5k bail.

I have called my grandbabies my grandbabies.. It's a southern thing. I remember one day the youngest one said, " Our other grandma calls us her grand children." I just told her that was okay, her other grandmother was from California and they talk funny..

Judge Nonnie S Burnes has a screw loose. With a name like Nonnie maybe it's a woman?

Agreed, but when? Before or after their execution?

Sounds like the victim was already at risk.

Everytime I read about amoebas like this...I always wish I could be a judge or a prosecutor long enough to ask them a couple of questions like...WHERE DID YOU GET THE BRIGHT IDEA THAT THIS WAS A GREAT THING TO DO????? DID YOU SEE THIS KIND OF BEHAVIOR AT HOME...HOW DID YOU COME TO THE NOTION THAT IT WAS OK TO DO THIS TO ANOTHER HUMAN BEING?? WHAT WOULD IT TAKE TO MAKE YOU UNDERSTAND HOW VILE THIS KIND OF BEHAVIOR IS.....WILL YOU HAVE TO BE RAPED, BURNED AND BEATEN WHILE YOU SERVE A PRISON SENTENCE, BEFORE IT DAWNS ON YOU???

They have no answers, they are just sick freaks. Makes one want to pursue a degree in criminal psychology so we can grasp the answers to the questions you have posed (btw I read a lot of books in this area, very disturbing!)

New Bedford was were those men of Portugese extraction raped the tramp on the pool table. (made into a movie w/ Jody Foster)

Hustler magazine did something about New Befford being the Portugese rape captial of the world and had to apologize.

They also kept electing a US Congressman who would seduce Congressional [male] pages.

OBJ: What doesn't Congressman Gerry Studds use a bookmark?
He just bends over the pages. [rimshot]
