Illegal Alien Charged with Aggravated Child Rape at Healey Hotel Arrested 8 Months After Maine Wire Exposé

Massachusetts authorities have finally arrested the 42-year-old illegal alien alleged to have incestuously raped his 14-year-old daughter multiple times in law enforcement documents first published last June by the Maine Wire.

Eight months ago, the Maine Wire published incident reports revealing that Ronald Joseph, an undocumented immigrant who entered the U.S. via the southern border with his minor daughter during the Biden Administration, repeatedly sexually assaulted her while residing at a taxpayer-funded migrant shelter in Marlborough, Mass.

The case against Joseph emerged when his 14-year-old daughter became pregnant, leading investigators to discover that he had repeatedly assaulted her during their journey to the United States, according to the incident reports.

According to court records obtained by the Boston Globe, Joseph appeared in Marlborough District Court on Monday, facing charges of aggravated rape of a child.

He pleaded not guilty to the charges after being arrested over the weekend and is currently being held without bail while awaiting a Friday hearing to determine whether he is dangerous.

The Maine Wire reported on Joseph and his alleged crimes in June. Despite his alleged crimes being documented in law enforcement incident reports, Joseph was not arrested at the time of the alleged assaults but was instead moved to a separate shelter. Even after the incident reports were published across social media revealing the heinous behavior occurring at the migrant shelter, Joseph was not arrested. Only after national media outlets discovered the story and—eventually—the Boston Globe reported on it as well, did law enforcement take action against the illegal alien.

Joseph had been staying at a Holiday Inn in Marlborough that had been converted into a shelter for illegal immigrants under Gov. Maura Healey’s (D-Mass.) shelter program when incident reports recorded his alleged sexual assault of his daughter.

A serious incident report provided to the Maine Wire by a whistleblower detailed the alleged crimes, claiming that Joseph raped his daughter numerous times, both on the way from Mexico and while living at the taxpayer-funded shelter.

“[Department of Children and Families] DCF then conducted an interview with [the victim] who reported that her father has had sex with her multiple times, both on the journey to the U.S. and in the U.S. DCF then made the decision to remove [the victim] from her father’s custody on an emergency basis,” said the records provided to The Maine Wire.

Police arrived in response to the accusations, but instead of arresting Joseph, they calmed him down after he lost custody of his daughter, function almost as social workers and migrant resettlement specialists rather than cops.

Joseph then received a taxpayer-funded Lyft ride to the Queen Street Shelter in Worcester, Mass., which does not house children but does house women.

The alleged child rapist largely disappeared from headlines until he was arrested this weekend.

Authorities have released few details on the arrest and have not clarified whether he was still living off taxpayer money at the Worcester shelter when he was apprehended.

Though The Maine Wire reported on the disastrous results of Gov. Healey’s migrant hotels months ago, they have only recently garnered more sustained national attention despite her administration’s attempts to conceal their flaws.

In late December, the Healey administration released thousands of pages of heavily redacted serious incident reports that nevertheless confirm the shelter system has become a hotbed for crime, including rape, drugs, domestic abuse, and a host of other crimes.

In response to the late December arrest of Leonardo Andujar Sanchez, 28, a Dominican illegal immigrant staying at a repurposed Quality Inn in Revere, Mass., who was found with an assault rifle and five kilograms of fentanyl, Healey ordered an inspection of the shelter system.

The Healey Administration claimed that it has already completed the majority of its inspections, including all of the “Healey Hotels” converted into shelters, and that they have found no major issues or evidence of criminal activity.

Jon Fetherston, the former manager of the hotel that housed Joseph, told the Maine Wire that he believes Healey has not actually completed any inspection and that it was a performative attempt to regain public trust in her project.

“If they did do it, and I’m under the impression that it didn’t happen, anybody can pass a pre-announced inspection. And three, if she really wants this to go away and still trust in the public, then why not release the report,” said Fetherston.

While Joseph has been arrested, the Healey Hotels continue to harbor illegal immigrants, despite numerous warnings from Border Czar Tom Homan that he will prosecute any government officials who obstruct President Donald Trump’s deportation efforts.

    Massachusetts Voter.s should hang their head in shame for letting politicians allow this

    Democrats protect illegal alien rapist, but put US citizens in prison for protesting abortion clinics. Got it.

    The Maine wire and radio host Howie Carr has been all over this for a long time. Absolutely nothing from msm or the Portland press herald! A total disgrace! This may have happened in Maine but the in the bag Maine newspapers and government covered it up! C’mon man!

  4. Mark Wheelin on February 4, 2025 7:52 PM

    Wait, there s a hotel (taxpayer funded – not democratically) full of illegals?
    All in one place?
    Like fish in a barrel?
    Hated the song, but all l can think is:
    ICE ICE, Baby!

    Mr Violette,
    As should NY, VT, IL, CA, NH, CT, RI, …

    Healy MA, Mills ME, Hochul NY, Scott RINO VT, etc… are deeply tied into the global Communist ideology to destroy, destabilize and diminish all of the laws , norms and values in our culture. They use your Christianity against you as you are guilted into accepting boys are girls, open borders are saving humanity, destroying your energy supremacy to save the earth … WAKE UP MAINE!

    President Trump’s realignment of United States Law & Order is very swift and present, as we have seen, thus far. If those politicians and/ot citizens, especially the illegals, refuse to comply with the US Constitution of law and order, there are repercussions and consequences awaiting them, such as going to jail, fines, being fired from their jobs, publicly shunned and shamed and the illegals are physically being rounded up and kicked out of the US. How sweet it is…Under President Trump, America is being righted and overhauled, using the play-by-the-rules play book against corruption. Under Democrat regimes, we all became etherized, seemingly normalized, impotent by their stronghold of wickedness and corruption. Their intolerable political trickiness and crookedness is disapating at lightening speed in Massachusetts, Maine…all over the Nation. No where to run,no where to hide for these Marxist destroyers of truth….”Throw the key away, let the guilty pay, it’s Independence Day 🇺🇲

    Really, wow, leaves one wondering if he is indeed her “father”… we’ve heard so many of these stories… and I think this one needs to really be looked into. He’s being held to determine whether he’s a danger???? I think a man raping a 14 year old would be considered a danger. What is wrong with our courts…? When did common sense leave the bldg.?

    I have great disdain for a rapist, to put it mildly. There is so much going on in this nation, and I have maintained my peace and feel so hopeful, but this report almost took me over the edge. I was in a rage as I prayed about the fact that my tax dollars are going towards rape, abuse, and drugs. Not that it wasn’t something that I knew, but this, for me, was the straw that broke the camel’s back.

    I am struggling with the hate that I feel in my heart for rapists. Jesus help me! Help me to see as You do. I know that this is a demonic influence. My heart goes out to this young lady who was violated in such a horrible way 😭😭😭
    Joseph deserves to be castrated…
