Mayor’s Parade Encounter Sparks Legal Battle

A high school student is pushing to extend a harassment order against Brockton Mayor Moises Rodrigues after alleging he grabbed her waist during a parade — an incident that sparked a chain of escalating tensions, including her hiding in a bathroom, her mother confronting him at graduation, and his eventual removal by police. The mayor claims he only placed a hand on her, apologized after being informed of her discomfort, and insists he didn’t know her gender. A music teacher corroborated concerns, describing the mayor’s closeness as odd and noting the student’s visible distress. The judge is set to rule later that day.
