Summary
In a dramatic courtroom showdown, Brockton Mayor Moises Rodrigues faced off against a high school student who accused him of harassment during the Huntington Day Parade — a moment that sparked a harassment order, emotional testimony, and ultimately, a judge’s decision to terminate it. The student described feeling threatened when the mayor, also chairman of the school committee, physically leaned in while she performed. Rodrigues claimed he was reacting to the Navy song “Anchors Away” and later tried to apologize through her teachers. Despite her request to extend the order, the judge sided with ending it. The case also echoes a separate June incident where the student’s mother confronted the mayor at graduation — no charges filed.
