A Massachusetts foster parent was sentenced to prison for the 2015 rape of a 12-year-old child.

Heather Wright-Craft, 52, of Charlton, was sentenced to serve two concurrent prison terms of 10 years to 10 years and 1 day for two aggravated rape of a child convictions.

On Sept. 12, 2025, Wright-Craft was found guilty of one count of rape of a child, aggravated by age difference, and one count of rape of a child, aggravated by being a mandated reporter. The jury also found her not guilty of one count of indecent assault and battery on a child under 14. After the delivery of the jury’s verdict, Wright-Craft’s bail was revoked, and she was taken into custody.

Wright-Craft was arrested and charged in Dudley District Court in August 2017 and indicted in Worcester Superior Court in March 2018.
