BROCKTON – A Brockton man who allegedly sexually assaulted a female walking home from school has been held pending the outcome of a dangerousness hearing, Plymouth County District Attorney Timothy J. Cruz has announced.
Today, in Brockton District Court, Marckenson Beauge, 22, was arraigned on one count each of Rape of a Child with Force, Indecent Assault and Battery on a Child Under 14, and Kidnapping of a Child. The Commonwealth moved for Beauge to be held without bail pending the outcome of a dangerousness hearing, scheduled for Thursday, September 26.
On September 18, Brockton Police responded to the West Middle School for a report of an indecent assault and battery on a child. The female student reported to a school faculty member that they had been sexually assaulted while walking home from school at approximately 3:30, the day before. The female victim was able to break free from her attackers. She described the clothes her alleged assailant was wearing, and told police that he was missing his front teeth, had messy hair, and was riding a blue bicycle with white lettering and thick tires.
Brockton Police commenced an investigation, and through numerous interviews, determined Beauge was a person of interest in the alleged attack. As a result, on Friday, September 20, they sought and obtained a search warrant for 20 Cherry Street, where it is believed Beauge resides. Beauge was not at home at the time, and police were told that he was working at a fast-food restaurant in Easton, where he was taken into custody without incident.
