WORCESTER, MA—Two Worcester men, charged with sexually abusing two 17-year-old girls, were arraigned on Thursday in Worcester District Court, according to Worcester County District Attorney Joseph D. Early Jr.

Genaro Cabeza, 43, Sylvan Street, is charged with rape, sexual conduct for a fee with a child under 18, and providing alcoholic beverages to persons under 21 years old. Judge David B. Locke ordered him held without bail pending a dangerousness hearing on Sept. 18.

Richard Saya, 39, Belmont Street, is charged with trafficking a person for sexual servitude, sexual conduct for a fee with a child under 18, and providing alcoholic beverages to persons under 21 years old. He was held on $50,000 bail and the case was continued to Oct. 12. If he posts bail, he was ordered to remain under house arrest with a GPS monitor and to stay away and have no contact with the alleged victims.
