Alvin Campbell, an alleged serial rapist, was arrested in 2020 for sexual assault. A new investigation by WBUR finds that at the time of his arrest, Campbell had already been reported for multiple allegations of rape and sexual assault dating back to 2016. He is also the brother of Massachusetts District Attorney Andrea Campbell.

For the past year and a half, WBUR State House Reporter Walter Wuthmann has been investigating the case against Alvin Campbell, and why the previous allegations against him were not investigated sooner. Walt joins The Common to discuss how the culture of our criminal justice system and Massachusetts' secrecy laws obscure cases of sexual assault from the public in ways that often ends up protecting perpetrators instead of victims.
