    Illegal immigrant charged with raping disabled teenage girl released on $500 bail

    An illegal immigrant charged with raping a 15-year-old disabled girl in Massachusetts was released on $500 cash bail .

    Haitian national Cory Alvarez, 26, is accused of luring and assaulting the disabled teenager at a Comfort Inn in Rockland, Massachusetts, which has been used to house illegal immigrants, according to a report citing court documents.

    The incident was reported on March 13, and the alleged victim, who is also a Haitian national, pointed out Alvarez to Rockland Police Department officers, the report noted.

    She informed authorities that she had been brought to Alvarez's room and assaulted, but Alvarez, who agreed to questioning, said he was with the girl attempting to fix her iPad.

    Alvarez denied accusations of sexual misconduct, and documents from the Department of Children and Families reported no "physical injuries" sustained by the teenager.

    The prosecution had asked that Alvarez be detained pending trial or a bail of $25,000 be set following his March arrest, but a Massachusetts judge last week set a cash bail of $500, according to the report.

    Conditions issued by the judge include the wearing of a GPS monitoring device, confinement to a Brockton address, no contact with the alleged victim, check-ins, and the surrendering of travel documents.

    Alvarez has entered a plea of not guilty and is expected back in court on Aug. 13.

    In March, federal immigration authorities filed an order to detain Alvarez through the Plymouth County Sheriff’s Office, but officials with the Plymouth Superior Court declined to honor the detainer, according to the report.
