Overview
- A judge sentenced Alvin Campbell Jr. on Monday following a jury conviction on the majority of charges for assaults carried out while he posed as a rideshare driver.
- Jurors found Campbell guilty on 21 of 22 counts, including multiple rape and three aggravated rape convictions that carry life sentences, and they deadlocked on a single rape charge that prosecutors may choose to retry.
- Prosecutors said between 2017 and 2019 Campbell targeted intoxicated women outside Boston bars, luring them into his SUV, and six women testified about assaults during the four-week June trial.
- The case hinged on DNA that police say linked Campbell to victims and on sexually explicit videos and photos recovered from his phone, which the judge limited to juror viewing because of their graphic nature.
- Campbell has been held without bail since his January 2020 arrest and will receive credit for time served; the life term reported includes at least one sentence with parole eligibility after 15 years and other convictions that add decades behind bars.
