Derek Boisvert - Most Wanted List - Child Rapist - Captured

Sarah Tofte of the Human Rights Watch says 25% of all sex offenders
re-offend within 15 years


A convicted child rapist listed on the state’s 10 Most Wanted Sex Offender List has been arrested in New Hampshire, just days after first appearing on the registry.

Twenty-five-year old Derek Boisvert was taken in custody in Hampton, New Hampshire Wednesday morning on a statutory rape warrant issued out of Middlesex Superior Court.

He also had an outstanding warrant on failing to register as a sex offender issued out of Lowell District Court.

According to the Massachusetts State Police Violent Fugitive Apprehension Web site, Boisvert was convicted of rape and abuse of a child in 2001 and sentenced to two years in state prison.

He was listed as a Level 3 sex offender, considered the most likely to reoffend.

Massachusetts State Police say Boisvert was tasered during his arrest on Wednesday after allegedly resisting officers.
