A foreign national residing in one of Massachusetts' migrant shelters confessed to committing a horrific crime against his daughter.A 44-year-old man, who lived at the Marlborough Holiday Inn, pleaded guilty on July 11 to aggravated rape of a child. 'I'm not looking for political theater — I'm seeking accountability for the horrific abuses that have taken place.'The shelter's then-manager, Jon Fetherston, reported the attack to authorities, claiming that the man raped and impregnated his 14-year-old daughter while residing in the state-run facility. He previously told Blaze News that while managing the shelter from November 2023 to July 2024, he reported many tragic crimes, including alleged domestic violence and sexual assault.The Middlesex District Attorney's Office reported that a buccal swab was taken after the daughter's baby was born."Those samples were sent to a forensic testing laboratory, and on January 24, 2025, it was determined that not only was the defendant the biological father of the victim, it was also twenty-three trillion times more likely than not, that he was the biological father of the victim's baby," the DA's office said.RELATED: 'Dangerous and corrupt': Whistleblower demands DOJ probe Massachusetts migrant shelters Photo by Craig F. Walker/The Boston Globe via Getty ImagesFollowing last week's guilty plea, the man faces a prison sentence of 12 to 15 years. His name was withheld to protect the identity of his daughter. Last month, Fetherston stated that he sent a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi urging the Department of Justice to open an investigation into the state's shelter system, warning that the program is "dangerous and corrupt." He highlighted concerns related to "a disturbing pattern of criminal activity, sexual assaults, financial abuse, and the widespread use of no-bid contracts."His letter called on the DOJ to investigate "criminal activity and sexual violence within Massachusetts-run migrant shelters," "widespread fraud and misuse of federal and state funds," "the deliberate refusal to coordinate with federal law enforcement agencies," and "the pattern of retaliation against those reporting abuse, danger, or misconduct."RELATED: Inside Massachusetts migrant shelters where crime flourishes under Democrats' watch Jodi Hilton for The Washington Post via Getty ImagesFetherston told Blaze News on Friday that he has not yet received a response from Bondi's office. "As of today, I have not received a response from Attorney General Bondi's office, but I remain hopeful that justice will prevail. I'm not looking for political theater — I'm seeking accountability for the horrific abuses that have taken place," Fetherston stated. "The system failed these vulnerable families, and those responsible — whether they're shelter administrators, state officials, or private contractors — must be held to account. If Bondi or the DOJ won't act, I'll keep pushing until someone does. The tragedies inside these shelters must end, and silence is not an option."The DOJ said Friday that it does not have Fetherston's letter.Fetherston provided Blaze News with tracking receipts indicating that his mail was delivered on June 13, addressed to Bondi in Washington, D.C.Like Blaze News?

An unnamed Missouri teen had been visiting friends in South Florida and was set Monday to return home to Kansas City on a Spirit Airlines flight out of the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. 'I don't believe he acted criminally. He was acting as an immature 16-year-old in my opinion.'Flight 1332 was scheduled to depart at 2:37 p.m. Monday, according to flight tracker Flightradar24. However, the flight would not depart until more than five hours later — at 7:44 p.m. — due to an alleged disturbance in the cabin that ignited concern among passengers and crew members.Authorities claim that a teen passenger made a false bomb threat.The Miami Herald reported that the 16-year-old suspect said, "I have a bomb in my pocket."Spirit Airlines told WTVJ-TV that the commercial airliner taxied to a remote location, and passengers were safely deplaned. Law enforcement inspected the aircraft and cleared the plane after not finding any explosive devices.People magazine reported that Spirit Airlines lost approximately $50,000 in connection with the incident.RELATED: 'My laptop is a bomb': Florida man's alleged mid-flight bomb threat forces emergency landing — now the FBI is involved Broward Sheriff's Office deputies took the teen into custody.The teenager faces charges of criminal mischief over $1,000 and false report of a bomb or explosive, according to the sheriff's office.The Herald noted that a woman who said she’s the teen’s mother indicated that her son was sitting on the plane as it was set to depart when he made the statement — and a woman in the aisle next to his seat reported it.But the teen's mother added to the Herald that her son is a "good kid" and that the remark was a "slang joke" about his masculinity and not a bomb threat.The teen's father asked a judge for leniency during a Tuesday hearing in juvenile court."I would just like to ask for grace in this matter," Phillip Schmidt said, according to WTVJ. "I don't believe he acted criminally. He was acting as an immature 16-year-old in my opinion."However, the judge was not swayed by this argument and ordered the teen to undergo a psychological evaluation and remain in custody at a juvenile facility.Like Blaze News?
