A hearing considering criminal charges against the mayor of Brockton will be open to the public.
Brockton Mayor Moises Rodrigues is slated for a hearing in Wrentham District Court where a clerk magistrate will consider charging him with assault and battery.
In a message provided to Boston 25 News by the Plymouth County District Attorney’s office, the Clerk Magistrate of Wrentham District Court, Pamela Gauvin-Fernandes, said that although show cause are usually closed doors, due to public interest and Rodrigues’ desire to make the hearing public
This comes weeks after allegations from a Brockton High School student that she felt uncomfortable after Rodrigues touched her at a parade in May.
That student’s mother confronted Rodrigues as he spoke to the 2026 Brockton High School Graduation class in June — roughly two weeks after the alleged incident.
“You know what you did to my daughter!” she yelled as she was taken away by police.
Roughly two weeks later, a judge terminated a harassment prevention order filed by the student against the mayor.
The show cause hearing will be conducted in person on Friday, August 7th at 10:00 am
