FBI Boston's Child Exploitation–Human Trafficking Task Force recently arrested seven Massachusetts men on various child exploitation charges following an operation conducted between June 12 and June 16, 2026. These arrests are part of the task force's ongoing efforts to combat human trafficking and the sexual exploitation of children, particularly in anticipation of the upcoming World Cup matches.
The individuals taken into custody include Julio Aguilar, 42, of Saugus; Kenneth M. Berry, 45, of Middleboro; Manjil Bhusal, 21, of Somerville; Jonathan Matthew William Durocher, 34, of Brockton; Trevon Hubbard, 31, of Middleboro; Krish R. Patel, 26, of Quincy; and Gerald Sabatinelli, 71, of Hyannis. All seven suspects were arraigned in Brockton District Court.
They face state charges including sex for a fee with a child under 18, enticement of a child under 16, and attempted rape of a child. The operation involved special agents and task force officers from FBI Boston, working in collaboration with the Massachusetts State Police and several local police departments, including East Bridgewater, New Bedford, Peabody, and Randolph. Additional assistance was provided by Boston Police, Brockton Police, and the FBI Albany Division.
The defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law. The task force continues its vigilance against these crimes.
