A jury in Massachusetts has convicted Alvin Campbell, the brother of state Attorney General Andrea Campbell, of sexually assaulting women while posing as a rideshare driver. The verdict was delivered on Thursday in Suffolk County Superior Court.
Alvin Campbell, 45, was found guilty on 21 of 22 counts, including aggravated rape, for attacks that occurred between 2017 and 2019. The jury was unable to reach a verdict on one rape charge, which prosecutors said they would decide on at a later date.
Prosecutors stated that Campbell targeted women outside bars and other locations, pretending to be a rideshare driver. He faces a potential life sentence for aggravated rape when he is sentenced on June 29.
Andrea Campbell, who became the first woman of colour to hold statewide office in Massachusetts when she was sworn in as attorney general in 2023, has previously spoken about her family's involvement with the criminal justice system. A spokesperson for her office did not immediately comment on the verdict.
Suffolk County District Attorney Kevin Hayden praised the victims for their bravery in testifying, saying, “We’re happy that we were able to secure justice and accountability for them.” He added that Campbell “deceivingly and calculatedly” preyed on women in vulnerable moments.
