A Brazilian man living in the United States illegally has been charged with raping an underage Massachusetts person, federal officials said Tuesday.
Warley Neto, 24, was arrested on Aug. 23 and is charged with five counts of rape, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) said.
“Warley Neto allegedly repeatedly assaulted a Massachusetts child and represents a significant threat to the safety of our neighborhoods,” said Todd M. Lyons, the ERO Boston Field Office Director. “We are grateful for the cooperation of the Dukes County Sheriff’s Office for prioritizing public safety and allowing Neto’s safe transfer of custody to ERO.”

Neto illegally entered the U.S. on March 11, 2018 near Paso Del Norte, Texas, authorities said. He was served a notice by U.S. Border Patrol to appear before a federal immigration judge and released on March 13, 2018.
The Edgartown Police Department arrested Neto on suspicion of strangulation or suffocation, assault and battery on a family member, and threatening to commit crime. An immigration detainer request against Neto was issued with the Dukes County Jail and House of Correction.
On June 8, 2023, Neto was found guilty of the charges. He received a 364-day prison sentence, but a judge suspended all but 90 days.

On Jan. 12, Neto was arrested again for five counts of rape of a child and five counts of enticing a minor under 16, authorities said.
Another immigration detainer request was lodged by ICE on Aug. 22 with the Dukes County Jail and House of Correction and the Dukes County Superior Court. The request was honored, and immigration authorities were notified they could take Neto into federal custody.

“Too often local jurisdictions refuse to honor immigration detainers and release dangerous offenders back into the community to reoffend,” Lyons said. “ERO Boston will continue to apprehend and remove the most egregious noncitizen offenders from New England.”

Massachusetts has the primary calendar to itself on Tuesday. Next week, the final primaries before the November 5 general election will take place in Delaware, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island.
Massachusetts Primary
Per the Associated Press, “Democrats have a lock on the Bay State’s congressional delegation, with both U.S. Senate seats and all nine U.S. House seats firmly in their column. They also hold lopsided supermajorities in both chambers of the state legislature, where all seats are up for election in November.”
On this page, we’ve included the only two contested congressional primaries. Visit All Massachusetts Results if you are looking for primary results for the state legislature.
Polls close at 8:00 PM Eastern Time.
U.S. Senate
Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren is seeking a 3rd term; she is unopposed for renomination.
There are three Republicans vying to take her on in the general election. The nominee will have an uphill battle in this deep blue state.
U.S. House
All nine Democratic incumbents are seeking reelection. None of them has drawn a primary challenge.
The only contested primary is in District 8, where three Republicans are looking to take on Rep. Stephen Lynch. This includes videographer Robert Burke, the 2022 nominee. He lost by a 70% to 30% margin to Lynch that year.
No Republicans are running in Districts 1 through 7. The Democratic incumbents there join the Uncontested Seats list. In these 36 districts, only one major party is on the November ballot.

Voting today in Massachusetts’ primary election throughout Greater Westfield
![Voting today in Massachusetts’ primary election throughout Greater Westfield Voting today in Massachusetts’ primary election throughout Greater Westfield](https://www.masslive.com/resizer/v2/BTHS6TQ4BZBPJBISH4WVYPH4E4.jpg?auth=1471a0de5d1faae15da66884b2756220c8a334f4fdfb41c88ccad474834efb35&width=1280&quality=90)
Polls are open 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. today throughout Greater Westfield for the state primary election.
There aren’t many decisions for voters to make, however. Republicans have a three-way race for their party’s nomination for U.S. Senate, among Robert J. Antonellis of Medford, Ian Cain of Quincy and John Deaton of Swansea. Other than that one contested race, the only other names on local Republican ballots will be the incumbent state representatives running for re-election: Nicholas Boldyga (R-Southwick) on ballots in Southwick, Montgomery and Russell; and Kelly Pease (R-Westfield) on ballots in most precincts of Westfield. Neither Boldyga nor Pease has a primary election challenger. In the small section of Westfield that shares a House district with West Springfield, there is no Republican candidate for representative.
Democratic ballots feature more candidates, but no contested races. Incumbent U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Cambridge) is the only person seeking nomination for that six-year seat; she will face the Republican nominee in November. Others seeking the nomination for their current seats are U.S. Rep. Richard Neal (D-Springfield), Governor’s Councilor Tara Jacobs (D-North Adams), Clerk of Courts Laura Gentile (D-East Longmeadow) and Register of Deeds Cheryl Coakley-Rivera (D-Springfield). The region’s two incumbent state senators are running for reelection with no opponents: John Velis (D-Westfield) on ballots in Westfield, Montgomery and Russell; and Paul Mark (D-Becket) on ballots in Southwick.
There are no candidates for any offices on the Libertarian Party ballots in Greater Westfield.
Early voting was available by mail and in person in all communities. Any registered voter who has not already voted can cast a ballot at the traditional Election Day polls today. Registered members of the Democratic, Libertarian or Republican parties can vote in their party’s primary election only. Voters who are registered but unenrolled in a party — also called “independent” — can choose any one of the three party ballots.
Residents of Southwick, Montgomery and Russell vote at their respective town halls: 454 College Highway, Southwick; 161 Main Road, Montgomery; and 65 Main St., Russell.
Polling places in Westfield are the same as in the presidential primary election earlier this year:
- Ward 1: Precinct A at Southampton Road Elementary School, 330 Southampton Road; Precinct B at Westfield High School, 177 Montgomery Road.
- Ward 2: Both precincts at Westfield Senior Center, 45 Noble St.
- Ward 3: Precinct A at Franklin Avenue Elementary School, 22 Franklin Ave. Precinct B at Westfield Technical Academy, Lower Campus, 33 Smith Ave.
- Ward 4: Precinct A at Second Congregational Church, 487 Western Ave. Precinct B at Highland Elementary School, 34 Western Ave.
- Ward 5: Both precincts at Munger Hill Elementary School, 33 Mallard Lane.
- Ward 6: Both precincts at Paper Mill Elementary School, 148 Paper Mill Road.
Westfield voters who are not sure which ward and precinct is theirs can enter their address at www.sec.state.ma.us/wheredoivotema to find their polling place. Voters from any community can enter their information at www.sec.state.ma.us/VoterRegistrationSearch to confirm that they are registered to vote.

Protesters gather in Florence to support woman accused of murder in Massachusetts

FLORENCE, S.C. (WPDE) — Over a dozen people protested Monday in a grassy median on Highway 327 right at I-95 in Florence.
The group captured much attention as they held signs and chanted, “Free Karen Read.”
Read is accused of hitting her boyfriend with her SUV outside a Massachusetts home in January of 2022, leaving him to die in a snowstorm following a night of drinking, according to media outlets.
Her boyfriend, John O’Keef, was a Boston police officer.

Read’s defense said O’Keefe was dragged outside after he was beaten up in the basement and bitten by a dog at a fellow Boston police officer’s home.
Read’s first trial ended earlier this summer with a hung jury. She’s expected to retry early next year.
Those demonstrating are from parts of the Pee Dee and Horry County.
A few of them said they lived in Massachusetts, but have no connection to Read.
The group said they’ve followed her case and believe in her innocence.
We’re backing Karen. We also have cards that we are going to hand out. As people ask questions, we want to give them the cards. The information themselves. There’s also a QR code on there if they want to donate to Karen and help her out. They can do that as well. So, free Karen Read,” said Annette Stephenson.
Lauren Wilson and her fiancé traveled from Georgia to Florence to join the protest.
“You can see this is a mess. And she deserves justice. And so does the officer who died,” said Wilson.
The group said they’ll protest again if necessary to show their support for Read.
