Massachusetts Attorney General’s Brother Convicted in Rideshare Sex Assaults

A jury delivered a shocking verdict, convicting Alvin Campbell, 45, the brother of Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Campbell, of sexually assaulting women while masquerading as a rideshare driver.

Campbell faced 22 counts and was found guilty on 21 of them for sex assaults committed between 2017 and 2019, according to the Suffolk County district attorney’s office.

The jury could not reach a consensus on one of the rape charges, leaving that count unresolved.

The district attorney’s office stated, “We will determine our action, if any, at a future date on that charge.”

With sentencing set for June 29, Campbell could face a maximum of life in prison for aggravated rape.

Prosecutors revealed that Campbell targeted women outside bars and other locations, using his rideshare driver facade to lure them into vulnerable situations.

His sister, Andrea Campbell, made history in 2023 as the first woman of color to hold statewide office in Massachusetts when she was sworn in as attorney general.

A spokesperson for the attorney general’s office did not respond to inquiries regarding the verdict late Thursday.

Andrea Campbell has previously addressed her family’s troubled history with the criminal justice system, including her brother’s serious charges.

“One thing I do frequently is share my story because I think there are so many who carry their story with a sense of shame and don’t want to talk about it, including the criminal aspects of my family,” she stated in an earlier interview.

She emphasized the importance of sharing personal narratives, asserting, “But there is no shame in one sharing their story. There is power in it.”

The attorney general serves as the chief lawyer and law enforcement officer for the state.

Following the verdict, Suffolk County District Attorney Kevin Hayden confirmed he had not communicated with the attorney general since the trial concluded.

Hayden described Campbell as having “deceivingly and calculatedly” preyed upon women during their most vulnerable moments. He expressed empathy for the victims, stating, “I can’t imagine what that horror must have been like for them.”

Campbell’s defense attorney did not respond to requests for comment from the press.

Hayden expressed gratitude towards the women who testified, saying, “We’re happy that we were able to secure justice and accountability for them and so we thank them.”
