Dem lawmaker's illegal alien SOTU guest part of records dispute involving police reports: report
This isn't complicated—it's willpower.
Rep. Seth Moulton, D-Mass., invited an illegal immigrant guest to this year’s State of the Union address who's referenced in two police reports that Massachusetts authorities have declined to release, citing exemptions involving "sexual assault and juveniles," according to a report.
The Boston Herald reported that the Milford Police Department (MPD) denied a public records request for two 2021 reports that allegedly reference Marcelo Gomes da Silva, whom Moulton invited to attend President Donald Trump’s speech on Feb. 24.
According to the Herald, the newspaper sought reports dated June 30, 2021, and Sept. 15, 2021. MPD Deputy Chief John Sanchioni denied the request, writing, "The records you are requesting are not public records in accordance with M.G.L. c. 4 s. 7 cl. 26 (A)."
He also wrote that one report "involves a sexual assault and juveniles" and that the other "involves juveniles," citing Massachusetts public records law.

Sanchioni did not elaborate on the nature of the reports and did not indicate that Gomes da Silva had been charged with any crime. The Herald reported that Gomes da Silva was identified as a "person of interest" in the records it sought.
Fox News Digital has reached out to Sanchioni and Moulton’s office for comment on the matter.
Gomes da Silva, 19, has denied any wrongdoing and said he was unaware of the reports until contacted by the media.

"I want to be clear: I have never assaulted anyone. I have never been contacted by the police about any accusations of assault," Gomes da Silva told the Herald through his lawyer. "I only learned about these reports that allegedly include my name in them through the media. I have never seen these alleged reports. My attorney has since requested these alleged reports and was denied."
A spokesperson for Moulton also reportedly told the Herald that, according to their review, Gomes da Silva has never been charged with a crime.
Gomes da Silva drew national attention earlier this year after Moulton invited him to attend Trump's State of the Union address as his guest.
