Marshfield man faces child rape charges

By Khristopher Flack, Globe Correspondent

A Marshfield man is facing child rape and other charges after befriending two girls, ages 12 and 13, and allegedly offering them money, alcohol, and cigarettes in exchange for sex, police said.

Geraldo Miranda, 22, was arrested in his apartment at about 6:30 a.m. Thursday after Marshfield detectives concluded a two-week investigation of a tip police had received from a concerned parent.

Police said Miranda began approaching the two girls sometime in late August or early September last year.

Miranda had sexual relations with one of the victims on at least two occasions, police said Thursday in a statement.

Miranda was arraigned in Plymouth District Court Thursday and was held on $10,000 cash bail.
