Framingham Man Indicted on Rape and Child Pornography Charges

A Middlesex Country grand jury indicted a Framingham man on rape and child pornography charges.

Brian Sherman, 52, of Framingham, was charged with rape of a child by force (2 counts), indecent assault and battery on a person under the age of 14, and possession of child pornography (6 counts).

In August, a different grand jury indicted Sherman on charges of rape, rape of a child by force (6 counts), and indecent assault and battery on a child under the age of 14 (3 counts).

No other details about the case were released by the Middlesex County district attorney’s office.

Editor’s Note: Under the new state law, sexual assaults and domestic violence arrests do not appear in the Framingham Police log or police logs of any community in Massachusetts. The law was passed by former Governor Deval Patrick.

The Assistant District Attorney prosecuting this case is Marisa Tagliareni.
