Boston Police charge 43-year old man, former Uber driver, with several sexual assaults, rape

“At about 8:00 AM on Friday, September 23, 2022, members of the BPD Fugitive Unit, Sexual Assault Unit, and Milton Police arrested William Mancortes, 43, of Hyde Park, pursuant to five outstanding warrants.

The warrants were issued out of the Boston Municipal Court on two counts of Rape, one count of Indecent Assault and Battery on a Person 14 years or over. Mancortes was also wanted out of Quincy District Court for one count of Aggravated Rape, and one count of Kidnapping. All the incidents date back to 2017.

A Sexual Assault investigation led to the utilization of a Sexual Assault Evidence Collection Kit (SAECK) which assisted detectives in identifying the suspect in connection to these separate incidents and could result in further charges as detectives continue their investigations.

The suspect will appear in West Roxbury District Court for arraignment on the above-mentioned warrants and this investigation remains active and ongoing.
