Last week, Lynn police arrested Kelvin Morales (aka Lucas Mauricio), 33, after a woman reported that she had been sexually assaulted by Morales for a period of roughly six years.
The victim, who is now 18-years-old, told investigators that the abuse occurred between the ages of 5 to 11 years of age.
Morales lived with one of the girl's relatives during this period.
Assistant District Attorney Annaliese Wolf told the court:
She was unable to say how many times he did it because she lost count. He would tell her to "shush" and cover her mouth with his hand if she made noise ... and even told her "snitches get stitches."
The Daily Item reported:
Wolf said the alleged victim told police the relative would go out frequently, during which time Morales would invite her to "play a game" that he said would"make her feel good."The alleged victim told police Morales would then molest her; often kissing and touching her breasts and buttocks, and laying on top of her, Wolf reported. Wolf told the court the victim would say "oww" when he touched her "down there" but he would reply that "he’s only rubbing it."
Morales has been charged with rape of a child with force; and three counts of indecent assault and battery on a child under 14. He is currently being held at the Essex County Correctional Facility on an immigration detainer.
Though Morales has admitted he became acquainted with the victim when she was a child, the Guatemalan national pleaded not guilty to the charges.
