Boston Blotter: Salem High School Students Accused of Rape

crime_scene_tape.jpg-- Four Salem High School students have pleaded not guilty to charges that they raped a teen girl in a Lynn home late Friday night. The four boys, three 17 year-olds and one 18 year-old, were arraigned Tuesday on charges of aggravated rape. The alleged victim reported the incident to police Saturday morning. [Globe; Herald]

-- Derek Boisvert, a 25 year-old convicted child rapist who appeared on the Massachusetts' 10 Most Wanted Sex Offender List was arrested in New Hampshire. He had been sought on a statutory rape warrant issued by Middlesex Superior Court and a separate warrant for failing to register as a sex offender issued by the Lowell District Court. [Globe; Herald]

-- Police claim to have thwarted an East Boston break-in last night. Boston police responded to a call from residents at 459 Meridian Steet, where they allegedly found a man skulking in the building's vacant second floor. The 38 year-old Revere man was arrested and charged with unarmed breaking & entering (nighttime). [BPDNews]

-- Usually, campus crime is funny, but the recent spate of incidents at UMass-Amherst has been horrible. Attempted murders with bats and lacrosse sticks, alleged rapes, and racially motivated stabbings. Today's Globe looks at the violence and the University's reaction. [Globe]

All charges alleged until proven under law.
