A Lawrence man was sentenced today to two decades in prison followed by 10 years of probation in connection with the death of a 13-year-old whose dream, her mother said, was to help cancer patients when she grew up.
Carlos Rivera, 49, pleaded guilty in Salem Superior Court to 19 counts, including aggravated rape of a child, rape, indecent assault & battery & distribution of cocaine to a minor, in the May 20, 2019, death of Chloe Ricard of Amesbury.
Rivera was sentenced to 20-22 years in jail. To date, he has served 991 days. There were 10 young female victims in all, including Chloe.
“The acts of that day will haunt me,” the victim’s mother, Deborah Goldsmith-Dolan, said. “You left her to die.”
And then, beginning to weep, she said: “I want my Chloe … Everywhere I look I see my Chloe … I love you, my baby girl.”
Chloe had been at Rivera’s apartment in May of 2019, police said. Rivera then dropped Chloe at the emergency room of Lawrence General Hospital where she was pronounced dead shortly thereafter. Cocaine & fentanyl were found in her system.
Rivera — called a “monster” in past Herald reports — agreed to the facts of the case Friday, including he recruited at least 10 teenage girls between 12 years old & 16 years old, having them perform sex acts on each other & giving them drugs & clothes in return.
