Woman escapes Mass. home after man tries to kidnap her using dog-walking app, police say
A woman entered the Southbridge Police Department's headquarters last Friday to report an attempted kidnapping — which she escaped moments earlier, police said Thursday. She entered the station at around 8:10 p.m., the department said in a statement. Earlier, she was working for a dog-walking app and was contacted by a woman who asked if she could watch her dogs for a few hours. Mark Miller, 62, of Southbridge, was charged with kidnapping, police said. He was held on cash bail during his arraignment at Dudley District Court on Monday. The dog-sitter arrived at the home but met with a man, Miller, outside before entering the residence, police said. The interior of the home was dark and she did not see any dogs inside. Miller stood in front of the door and asked her to go upstairs, police said. The woman was able to run out of the home and drove to the police headquarters.

Migrant father pleads guilty to rape after teen daughter's pregnancy
A Haitian migrant pleaded guilty to a rape charge after a DNA test proved that he was the father of his teenage daughter's baby, Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan's office said. The man, who MassLive is not identifying so as not to identify his daughter, pleaded guilty to aggravated rape of a child for sexually assaulting a 14-year-old female victim who was known to him. On Friday, July 11, Judge Kenneth Salinger sentenced the man to 12 to 15 years committed to the Massachusetts Department of Correction. Between September 2023 and May 2024, the man and his daughter were at Marlborough Holiday Inn operating as a migrant shelter in the city, according to meeting minutes for the city's Board of Health. On April 30, 2024, when a school resource officer at the Whitcomb School in Marlborough learned of the 14-year-old girl's pregnancy, she told the school that she had dated a 17-year-old boy and they had had sex. Her pregnancy was confirmed by personnel at a hospital, according to a police report filed in court. The girl was removed from the shelter as the investigation continued, Ryan's office said in a statement. An ultrasound during the investigation found that the time of conception was while the girl and the man were living together in Marlborough, Ryan's office said. After the baby's birth, buccal swabs were done on the girl, the baby and the father and sent to a laboratory. On Jan. 24, the lab determined that the man was not only the girl's father, 'it was also twenty-three trillion times more likely than not that he was the biological father of the victim's baby,' Ryan's office said. The man was arrested one week later and was held without bail before he was indicted on Feb. 19.
