EAST BRIDGEWATER, Mass. — A Massachusetts medical delivery worker is facing criminal charges after authorities say he entered a disabled woman’s home and sexually assaulted her, authorities announced Thursday.

Qaisar Ali, 39, of Brockton, is slated to be arraigned in Brockton District Court on three counts of assault and battery on an elderly or disabled person, two counts of indecent assault and battery on an elderly or disabled person, indecent exposure, breaking and entering in the daytime, and assault with intent to commit rape, according to East Bridgewater Police Chief Michael Jenkins.

On Wednesday, police say a detective responded to the home of the disabled woman, who alleged she had been assaulted by a man who was delivering medicine to her home on Sunday, Aug. 2.

Authorities say an investigation revealed that a man working for a pharmaceutical delivery service was delivering medicine to the woman, who had severe mobility issues and was using a wheelchair, when he allegedly entered the home without consent and repeatedly touched the woman inappropriately.

Ali was arrested Wednesday without incident and held on $10,000 bail.

An investigation is ongoing.
