From Fox News: After being attacked by an immigrant rapist, Jon Fetherston, a former Massachusetts migrant shelter director, is blowing the whistle about the “rampant” abuse in the Massachusetts migrant shelter system, which he said is “just a big, colossal mess.”
Fetherston, who served as the director of the Marlborough migrant shelter from 2023 to 2024, said that the amount of crime, domestic abuse and child neglect that takes place in the Massachusetts migrant shelter system is “mind-boggling.” In an interview with Fox News Digital, Fetherston revealed that he was grabbed and attacked by a Haitian immigrant after he was confronted about raping and impregnating his own teenage daughter.
The Maine Wire first broke the story about the Haitian migrant, Ronald Joseph, 42, impregnating his then 13-year-old daughter. Joseph repeatedly raped and impregnated his daughter while staying at a government-funded migrant shelter at a Holiday Inn in Marlborough, Massachusetts.
A report by the Massachusetts Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities obtained by Fox News Digital says that after being informed he would lose access to his daughter, Joseph “got very agitated and started yelling” at Fetherston that “this was all his fault, and he was to blame.”
Describing how the Haitian migrant attacked him after learning his daughter would be taken away from him, Fetherston said, “I’m going to be honest; the entire experience has shaken me to my core.”
“The conversation was probably the most jarring conversation I’ve ever had in my life,” Fetherston recalled. “His justification for having sex with his daughter was — and he did say it through an interpreter; he didn’t say it in English — that in his country — which his country of origin was Haiti — if a woman bled, meaning if she had her period, you could have sex with her and that was his justification for having sex with his daughter.”
Fetherston said instead of having the Haitian man, Joseph, arrested, he was ordered by police to arrange a Lyft ride for Joseph to another shelter. The case rocked on for months, and police did not actually arrest him until 8 months later.
“I asked the Marlborough police like: ‘Why isn’t he being arrested? He admitted to this. At least why aren’t you just detaining him at the very least?’ And they’re like: ‘We’ll figure it all out.’ It took them eight months to figure it all out,” Fetherston recalled in disgust.
“It’s just a big, colossal mess,” Fetherston told Fox News. “I’ve been in public service most of my adult life, either through elective office or volunteering. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine the migrant shelters would be the chaos that it is… It’s a systematic problem, that there is chaos in these communities and the public has the right to know what is going on.”

INSANE. A 14-year-old girl was reportedly r*ped multiple times by her own father, Ronald Joseph, at a taxpayer-funded migrant shelter in Marlborough, Massachusetts. Instead of arresting him, the father was transferred to another taxpayer-funded shelter.
