• Holliston Man Charged with Sexual Exploitation of Children (justice.gov) — A 23-year-old Holliston man is facing a federal charge in Boston for allegedly coercing a minor into sexually explicit conduct in 2023, with Holliston Police assisting the investigation. He already has prior state convictions and pending child-related charges, and prosecutors say he could face up to 30 years in prison if convicted, though he remains presumed innocent.
   

• Illegal Alien Pleads Guilty to Unlawful Reentry (justice.gov) — A Milford resident and Ecuadorian national has pleaded guilty in federal court to illegally reentering the United States after deportation, following multiple OUI arrests in Massachusetts. Immigration officials first encountered him in 2015 while he was jailed on an OUI charge in Holliston, linking this long-running case back to local law enforcement and raising sentencing and deportation stakes next month.
