EAST BRIDGEWATER — Chief Michael Jenkins reports that the East Bridgewater Police Department arrested and charged a Brockton man for taking photos of a woman in the shower at the East Bridgewater YMCA on Sunday, March 2.
ABIDAN RIVERA, AGE 42, of BROCKTON, was arrested and charged with Photographing, Videotaping or Electronically Surveilling Someone Nude/Partially Nude, or Sexual Intimate Parts.
East Bridgewater Police were dispatched to the YMCA at 635 Plymouth St. on Sunday, March 2, to investigate the report of a suspicious man taking photos and/or video of a woman in the shower.
Following an investigation, police identified RIVERA as the suspect. RIVERA, already a registered Level 2 Sex Offender, was identified via video surveillance and an eyewitness.
East Bridgewater Police secured an arrest warrant, and RIVERA was arrested without incident at his workplace in Middleborough on Monday, March 3.
RIVERA was arraigned Tuesday, March 4. The Plymouth County District Attorney’s Office asked for $20,000 bail, but the judge set bail at $10,000 (with GPS monitoring if released) and ordered the defendant to stay away from the YMCA and the victim.
These are allegations. All suspects are innocent until proven guilty.
