Serial rapist Alvin Campbell Jr., who posed as an Uber driver to prey on drunk women outside Boston bars and clubs, was sentenced to life in prison Monday following his conviction earlier this month.
Campbell, 45, was convicted of raping five women and attempting to assault a sixth between 2017 and 2019, a series of incidents prosecutors have called “chillingly similar.” Suffolk County jurors found Campbell guilty of 21 of his 22 charges on June 11, deadlocking on only one count of rape.
In addition to life in prison, Judge Mary K. Ames sentenced Campbell — Attorney General Andrea Campbell’s older brother — to several additional consecutive sentences totaling more than 100 years.
“Your conduct can only be described as manipulative and depraved,” Ames told Campbell, per WBUR. “There is a depravity here that defies understanding.”
She further accused Campbell of pretending to be a “safe harbor” for women who were just looking for a ride home.
In remarks following the guilty verdict, Suffolk District Attorney Kevin Hayden described Campbell as a “man who cunningly, deceivingly, and calculatingly preyed upon women in their most vulnerable moments as they were coming out of bars and clubs in the city of Boston.”
Hayden added: “I can’t imagine what that horror must have been like for them, so we’re grateful to the jurors for their service.”
Separately, Campbell was charged in 2025 with attacking a correctional officer at Suffolk County Jail. He also faced additional charges out of Northampton earlier this year after authorities accused him of assaulting two other inmates at Hampshire County Jail and House of Correction. Both of those cases remain pending.
