A migrant accused of raping a disabled girl at a local shelter has been indicted, according to the Plymouth County DA’s office.

The migrant child rape case involving 26-year-old Cory Alvarez has sparked a Congressional inquiry and led to more Republican-fueled criticism of the emergency shelter system in Massachusetts.

Alvarez, a national from Haiti, is accused of raping a 15-year-old disabled girl at a state-run shelter in Rockland. He has now been indicted by a Plymouth County grand jury for the alleged child rape at the shelter, the DA’s office said on Tuesday.

He was charged with one count of aggravated rape of a child with a 10 year age difference, and one count of child rape by force.

Rockland Police responded to the Comfort Inn on Hingham Street for a report of a sexual assault on March 13.

Police officers upon arrival encountered the 15-year-old alleged victim, who was transported to South Shore Hospital for treatment.

Rockland Police through their investigation identified Alvarez as the suspect, and they took him into custody.

Alvarez, who entered the U.S. lawfully through a federal program and underwent two state sex offender checks, was found dangerous in March. He remains held without bail.

The emergency shelter system in Massachusetts houses more than 7,500 families, including migrants from other countries and local residents.

Alvarez was screened and vetted against national security and public safety databases when he entered the United States and no “derogatory information” was found, according to the Department of Homeland Security.

Gov. Maura Healey following the arrest in March commented on the case and screening individuals for the shelter system.

“We have security and systems in place,” Healey told reporters. “We have vetting in place. It is unfortunate that from time to time, things will happen … anywhere, not just in shelter, but anywhere.

“This is an allegation of sexual assault and rape,” the governor added. “It’s one that we take very seriously. I’m glad that law enforcement was right on it.”
