A man who lived at a local migrant shelter and is accused of raping and impregnating his own teen daughter has been ordered held without bail.
The man, who is not being identified so as not to also identify the victim of a sexual assault, was arrested by Marlborough police over the weekend for an incident that was reported last May.
According to the heavily redacted incident report, Eliot Community Human Services, which is operating migrant shelters at the Holiday Inn and Extended Stay hotels in Marlborough, contacted police last May for an incident that occurred the previous month.
Eliot, which is based in Lexington, reported that a girl who was at the shelter had sent texts to someone indicating that she was pregnant “in the past by her father,” and that “her father had sex with her multiple times, both on the journey to the U.S. and in the U.S.,” according to the Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities Division of Housing Stabilization.
Because of that information, Eliot staff removed the girl from her father’s custody. The father, according to the incident report, began yelling at staff and making threatening gestures, so staff called police.
Staff members told police they wanted the man to leave for the safety of the staff and other children at the shelter, according to the incident report.
Police arrested the man this weekend.
