An alleged serial rapist who prosecutors say posed as a rideshare driver to lure in drunk women before violently attacking them in his car will have his trial date pushed back to a date well more than four years after his arrest.

Alvin Campbell, 42, appeared for his latest hearing in Suffolk Superior Court Wednesday afternoon.

He’s also on to a new lawyer, Andrew Courossi of the Boston firm Hedges and Tumposky, who was appointed Feb. 5 for the indigent defendant. Campbell is the elder brother of Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Campbell, who at the time of his arrest was the Boston City Council president.

Alvin Campbell’s first attorney withdrew from the case following the first arraignment in which a prosecutor read off the sickening details of the police reports. Those reports claimed Campbell would drive around to find women, pick them up and then rape them, often filming the assault on his phone. That attorney declined to comment on why he withdrew.

Alvin Campbell, who lived in Rhode Island but is accused of the rapes of nine women in Boston, was arrested in January 2020 and charged in Boston Municipal Court on counts of rape and kidnapping.

Police said at that time they suspected him of more and similar offenses. Indeed, the case would bloom by Sept. 16, 2020, into indictments alleging the rape of eight different women, with a ninth alleged victim added in new indictments the following April.

It was all scheduled to go to trial on April 29, more than four years since his arrest and more than three years since his last indictment.

The case sits across three different dockets that, combined, amount to 32 charges. The charges include multiple counts each of rape, aggravated rape, assault and battery, indecent assault, photographing an unsuspecting nude person and a single account of assault to rape.

It’s a lot for a newly appointed attorney to quickly get a handle on, and there were some holdover motions from his predecessor that needed to be dealt with. Those include discovery motions that both defense attorney Courossi and prosecutor Lynn Feigenbaum agreed at Wednesday’s hearing would take some time to sort out.

Judge Michael P. Doolin asked that both sides file a joint motion establishing timelines for filings and a new trial date they can agree to.

Prosecutors have said that Campbell has a long rap sheet of serious charges and often misrepresents himself — as a ride-share driver, or bar bouncer — and then allegedly finding blackout-drunk women to prey upon.
