Overview
- Massachusetts State Police arrested Plymouth officer Samantha Pelrine and her husband, Daniel Forand, on child rape charges after a young man said they abused him for years.
- Prosecutors said the abuse began when he was 14 and ran into 2025, and a court filing also says Forand kept assaulting him into 2026.
- The couple pleaded not guilty in Plymouth District Court and were released on cash bail of $10,000 for Pelrine and $25,000 for Forand.
- Court records and the accuser’s affidavit say the pair took him in as a child, became his legal guardians, and that the abuse began soon after.
- Pelrine is on paid leave as state police investigate and the department conducts an internal review, with a probable-cause hearing set as the next step.
