Alleged serial rapist awaiting trial charged with assaulting correctional officer

BOSTON, April 9, 2025 – Campbell, who is charged with sexually assaulting nine women between 2017 and 2019, was arraigned in BMC Central last month for assaulting a correctional officer at the Suffolk County Jail back in November, Suffolk District Attorney Kevin Hayden announced.

ALVIN CAMPBELL JR., 44, was charged with one count of assault and battery on a correctional facility employee.

Campbell, who is currently in custody awaiting trial in Suffolk Superior Court, was ordered held on $150 bail on the new case. He is due back in BMC Central on April 24 for a pre-trial hearing. 

At about 8:46 a.m. on November 27, a correctional officer reported that Campbell tried to take a uniform top that didn’t belong to him during recreation. When the officer asked Campbell to leave the top alone, Campbell told the officer to shut the (expletive) up and called him “a (expletive) (expletive) CO.” Campbell then punched the officer twice in the face, causing the officer to sustain a bloody lip. 

Campbell was removed by the facility’s Sheriff’s Escort and Response Team (SERT).

“Just like we often see with all our other law enforcement partners, the daily duties of a correctional officer can be unpredictable. I am thankful the situation here was quickly contained,” Hayden said.

All charged individuals are presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
