Overview
- Magrath was arraigned Wednesday, held on $20,000 bail, and ordered to remain in Massachusetts under GPS monitoring with no contact with the woman, with a probable-cause hearing set for May 27.
- Prosecutors say he visited her Boston home April 17 to discuss services for her two children with special needs, then returned hours later and raped her.
- The woman reported the assault to Boston police, and Magrath was arrested April 28 and charged with two counts of rape.
- He pleaded not guilty at arraignment, and the judge also barred contact with her family and all prior DCF clients.
- DCF says it fired him immediately upon learning of the allegation and is supporting the family, and the district attorney labeled the conduct an extraordinary abuse of power that threatens trust in home visits.
