Plymouth police officer and her husband facing multiple child rape charges, released on bail
Officer Samantha Pelrine and husband Daniel Forand face multiple child sex crime charges after an adult victim reported abuse spanning 2018-2025, with bail set below prosecutors' request.
- On Thursday, Massachusetts State Police arrested Plymouth Police Officer Samantha Pelrine, 31, and her husband, Daniel Forand, 37, at their home, charging both with multiple counts of child rape involving a former foster child.
- Prosecutors allege abuse began in 2018 when the couple took in a 14-year-old foster child; Forand initiated encounters until 2020, when Pelrine began independently abusing the victim until 2025.
- Plymouth District Court Judge Kristen Stone set bail at $25,000 for Forand and $10,000 for Pelrine, while defense attorneys Joseph Krowski and Tamari Kovach argued the accusations were fabricated by a 'troubled' individual.
- Both defendants were released after pleading not guilty, with court-ordered conditions including surrender of passports and firearms, staying in Massachusetts, and maintaining no contact with the alleged victim or children under 18.
- The Plymouth Police Department stated it is "appalled and deeply disturbed by the allegations" and placed Pelrine on administrative leave pending internal investigation, with a probable cause hearing scheduled for June 8.
