A former Massachusetts illegal alien shelter director is blasting state officials for ignoring the harmful effects of their policies.
Former director-turned-whistleblower Jon Fetherston is particularly concerned about all the sexual abuse occurring in the state’s shelters.
For example, late last week, a Haitian national was sentenced to 10 to 12 years in prison for having raped a “disabled” 15-year-old girl at a Massachusetts hotel that was converted to an illegal alien shelter.
NEW: A Haitian migrant who raped a young disabled girl in Massachusetts after he entered the US under a Biden-era parole program will now spend more than a decade in jail for his crime.

“Police were dispatched to the Comfort Inn at 750 Hingham St. in Rockland at around 7 p.m. on March 13, 2024, after the desk clerk called to report a rape,” the Boston Herald reported. “There, the police found the girl victim and had her transported to South Shore Hospital for treatment.”
“He raped me,” the victim told investigators at the hospital. “I asked him to leave me alone, but he didn’t stop.”
According to Fetherston, the Haitian national’s behavior “exposes a much bigger problem.”
“Call it what you will, but this is total government failure,” he told Fox News. “You have documented cases now of these girls being assaulted in shelters run with taxpayer dollars. No one at the top, including Governor Maura Healey, is taking any of the responsibility.”
To prove his point, he cited another example — the case of Ronald Joseph, another Haitian national who raped and impregnated his 14-year-old daughter at the very shelter he used to manage.
“Fetherston said that when he and the authorities confronted Joseph about the rape, [Joseph] became agitated and threatened him,” according to Fox News. “Despite the gravity of the crime, Fetherston said he was instructed to order Joseph a ride to another state-run shelter.”
Joseph reportedly wasn’t arrested until months later. He was finally sentenced to 12 to 15 years in prison this past July:

In his remarks to Fox News, Fetherston maintained that these two cases aren’t isolated but rather a part of a growing pattern.
“The state didn’t protect these children, and when you don’t protect children, you have no moral authority to run these programs,” he said. “If you’re not going to protect children, you shouldn’t be in office.”
A spokesperson for Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey previously told the Herald that she, the governor, had “inherited a disaster of a shelter system” from her predecessor.
The spokesperson also alleged that Healey “is the one who took action to implement a length of stay limit, mandate criminal background checks, require residents to prove Massachusetts residency and lawful immigration status, and get families out of hotels.”
But Fetherston didn’t buy it.
“Not a single one of these people was vetted,” he said. “Nobody knows who they are. The governor opened up the doors wide open and didn’t vet anybody, and that is on her.”
“Ninety-eight percent of the people that I was dealing with were really good people, and they were just here to make a better life for themselves. But the two percent that weren’t were some of the worst people I have ever seen,” he added.
Fetherston also emphasized that “all of these shelters are paid for with taxpayer dollars.”
“The taxpayers need to realize that essentially, and horribly, you’re funding these rapes and assaults of little girls,” he argued. “Nobody wants that.”

This is on top of an additional $4B of taxpayer dollars she’s poured into this issue.

To Healey’s slight credit, in August she “ordered the closure of the state’s shelter system and made some of the residents eligible to receive at least $30,000 in state housing assistance over a two-year period.”
