Boston Man Charged In Worcester For Child Sexual Exploitation

WORCESTER, MA - A Boston man was sentenced to 28 years in prison, followed by 15 years of supervised release, in Worcester for child exploitation offenses.

According to a news release from the U.S. Attorney's Office, Jalen Latimer, 26, of Roxbury, recorded himself and another adult raping a 10-year-old in July 2022. The minor victim's five-year-old sibling was used to create the recording of the sexual assault.

In July 2023, Latimer and the same adult conspired together to arrange the sexual assault of another child. Latimer was asked to pay $50 for the child, but he offered $20 and marijuana. He was arrested in January 2024 and convicted in Worcester Superior Court on three counts of aggravated rape of a child, four counts of aggravated indecent assault and batter on a child and human trafficking of a minor.

In March 2024, he was sentenced to 15 years in state prison which will run concurrent with the federal sentence.
