22
00:01:10.159 --> 00:01:12.200
<v Speaker 3>Our job getting harder and harder. I used to work

23
00:01:12.239 --> 00:01:14.439
<v Speaker 3>forty hours, fifty hours and make a living and support

24
00:01:14.439 --> 00:01:18.000
<v Speaker 3>my family. I have five daughters. So now we walk

25
00:01:18.079 --> 00:01:21.120
<v Speaker 3>longer hours, we earn less and no protections.

26
00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:25.200

<v Speaker 2>immigrant from Somalia has been a ride share driver for

28
00:01:28.400 --> 00:01:31.959
<v Speaker 2>eight years. As Massachusetts voters headed to the poles on

30
00:01:34.959 --> 00:01:37.719
<v Speaker 2>went door to door to ask voters to give them

31
00:01:37.760 --> 00:01:41.120
<v Speaker 2>the right to form a union, something the legislature has

32
00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:42.120
<v Speaker 2>refused to do.

33
00:01:42.519 --> 00:01:45.200
<v Speaker 3>Our lawmakers, they did not pass the bill. We had,

34
00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:47.079
<v Speaker 3>the Right Share Driver Justice Bill. We have been going

35
00:01:47.079 --> 00:01:49.239
<v Speaker 3>to the state House for eighteen months and now we're

36
00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:50.959
<v Speaker 3>going to the ballot. We're going to the voter and

37
00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:53.239
<v Speaker 3>asked us to give us a ride to have protection

38
00:01:53.319 --> 00:01:56.239
<v Speaker 3>and dignity and have a living and just work like

39
00:01:56.280 --> 00:01:57.719

<v Speaker 1>Wednesday night forty eight degrees. Right now in Boston at

71
00:03:59.080 --> 00:04:02.919
<v Speaker 1>six oh five. A day of apple picking becomes a

72
00:04:03.039 --> 00:04:07.960
<v Speaker 1>legal case. Nicole Peppin claims she was racially profiled while

73
00:04:07.960 --> 00:04:12.319
<v Speaker 1>apple picking back on October fifth, to Connor's Farm in Danvers.

74
00:04:12.479 --> 00:04:16.560
<v Speaker 1>Pepin says a male employee followed her family, at one

75
00:04:16.600 --> 00:04:21.199
<v Speaker 1>point attempting to grab their strollers, accusing them of stealing.

76
00:04:21.279 --> 00:04:24.920
<v Speaker 6>According to the Danvers police officer responding to the fight

77
00:04:25.040 --> 00:04:28.959
<v Speaker 6>that day, the employee quote was the aggressor and clearly

78
00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:33.160
<v Speaker 6>provoked the incident. Working to determine what exactly went down.

79
00:04:33.279 --> 00:04:36.639
<v Speaker 6>In the police report, the officer recounts the farm's owner

80
00:04:36.759 --> 00:04:40.519
<v Speaker 6>making comments like look at these people. Look at the crowd.

81
00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:44.800
<v Speaker 6>We have plenty of problems here and you can lock

82
00:04:44.879 --> 00:04:48.240
<v Speaker 6>up half the crowd. The officer says, in part, it

83
00:04:48.319 --> 00:04:51.160
<v Speaker 6>was very clear that Connors was referring to the many

84
00:04:51.399 --> 00:04:55.839
<v Speaker 6>racial minorities in the crowd and insinuating that they were criminals,

85
00:04:56.199 --> 00:04:58.120
<v Speaker 6>this leaving customers concerned.

86
00:04:58.279 --> 00:05:01.639
<v Speaker 7>I don't understand why they take their job that seriously,

87
00:05:01.720 --> 00:05:04.279
<v Speaker 7>to that extent that they would feel they need to

88
00:05:04.279 --> 00:05:07.639
<v Speaker 7>put their hands on like me for an apple, Like

89
00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:09.600
<v Speaker 7>now we can get a supermarket.

90
00:05:09.839 --> 00:05:13.879
<v Speaker 6>A spokesperson from the farm told WBZ Connor's Farm takes

91
00:05:13.920 --> 00:05:18.600
<v Speaker 6>these allegations very seriously and is actively investigating the matter.

92
00:05:18.759 --> 00:05:23.879
<v Speaker 1>It's wbztvs. Samantha Cheney reporting the Berkshire District Attorney's Office

93
00:05:23.959 --> 00:05:29.160
<v Speaker 1>ruling out prosecuting former private school history teacher Matthew Rutledge

94
00:05:29.519 --> 00:05:33.879
<v Speaker 1>for sexual misconduct. Rutlige is accused of grooming and sexually

95
00:05:33.920 --> 00:05:36.680
<v Speaker 1>assaulting five women when they were students at Miss Hall's

96
00:05:36.839 --> 00:05:40.560
<v Speaker 1>School in Pittsfield. He resigned from the school back in

97
00:05:40.680 --> 00:05:43.079
<v Speaker 1>March at least two of the women claimed the abuse

98
00:05:43.160 --> 00:05:46.279
<v Speaker 1>started when they were fourteen and fifteen years old. The

99
00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:50.759
<v Speaker 1>legal age of sexual consent in Massachusetts is sixteen. In

100
00:05:50.800 --> 00:05:54.560
<v Speaker 1>a statement Friday Berkshire DA Timothy Chagru says, while the

101
00:05:54.639 --> 00:05:59.160
<v Speaker 1>alleged behavior is profoundly troubling, it is not illegal. The

102
00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:03.480
<v Speaker 1>attorney for the women, Eric McLeish, disagreeing with the decision,

103
00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:07.160
<v Speaker 1>telling The Globe that none of his clients consented to

104
00:06:07.360 --> 00:06:11.279
<v Speaker 1>have sex with Rutlich. Child advocates were shocked by the

105
00:06:11.279 --> 00:06:14.920
<v Speaker 1>story about sexual abuse involving thirteen children in California. They

106
00:06:14.920 --> 00:06:19.240
<v Speaker 1>were members of the Urpin family, Their parents eventually sent

107
00:06:19.279 --> 00:06:22.160
<v Speaker 1>to prison. The kids placed with a foster family in

108
00:06:22.279 --> 00:06:26.639
<v Speaker 1>Riverside County, and now that couple and their daughter have

109
00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:30.560
<v Speaker 1>pleaded guilty to child abuse charges involving nine of the children.

110
00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:34.920
<v Speaker 8>Rosa and Leanis Ogean got probation. Marcellino Olgein, who was

111
00:06:34.959 --> 00:06:38.879
<v Speaker 8>also convicted of sexual assault, was sentenced to prison. A

112
00:06:38.959 --> 00:06:42.360
<v Speaker 8>victim impact statement written by one of the victims, identified

113
00:06:42.399 --> 00:06:45.959
<v Speaker 8>only by the initials JT, was read out loud in

114
00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:46.639
<v Speaker 8>the courtroom.

<v Speaker 6>Always felt when.

116
00:06:47.959 --> 00:06:50.879
<v Speaker 5>There was nothing but a problem to the family because

117
00:06:50.920 --> 00:06:53.480
<v Speaker 5>of the times they were told to me and.

118
