Plymouth Police Officer Samantha Pelrine and Husband Arrested, Charged with Child Rape

Officer Samantha Pelrine and husband Daniel Forand face allegations of sexual and physical abuse from 2019 to 2026, prompting police and state investigations with a restraining order in place.

  • On Thursday, Massachusetts State Police arrested Plymouth Police Officer Samantha Pelrine and her husband, Daniel Forand, amid a criminal investigation. They were taken into custody at their home without incident and transported to the State Police Barracks in Middleboro for booking.
  • Affidavits filed in Plymouth District Court reveal the couple faces accusations of sexually and physically abusing a minor who lived in their home. The accuser alleged abuse began shortly after Pelrine and Forand became his legal guardians in 2018.
  • According to court records, Forand allegedly physically assaulted the victim until 2026, while both sexually assaulted him until 2025. A judge granted an abuse prevention order requiring the pair to stay at least 100 yards away from the accuser.
  • Placing Pelrine on administrative leave March 17, Plymouth Police initiated an internal review and stated that violations of state law or department policy will not be tolerated. Neither suspect has been charged criminally as of Thursday.
  • Arraignment in Plymouth District Court is scheduled for Friday, March 27, as the Plymouth County State Police Detective Unit continues investigating the case. Officials have not disclosed specific charges, and neither suspect has obtained legal representation.
