Former member of Portuguese Kids comedy group sentenced in Breaking and Entering case

A former member of the Portuguese Kids comedy group has been found guilty on one charge and innocent on another after an incident that occurred in 2020.

According to court records in 2020, on Wednesday, January 22, at approximately 11:42 a.m., Acting Sergeant Michael Connell, Officer Nathan Melo and Officer Ryan W. Pereira were dispatched to Main Street for a male party in an apartment. A female stated that Albert Sardinha was in her apartment and that her door was locked and Sardinha did not have a key.

The victim stated that Sardinha fled on foot towards Fall River, and she observed him leave in his white minivan. She informed dispatch that she spoke to Sardinha and that he told her he was there because he allegedly felt emotional after leaving a funeral and wanted closure.

The victim told police that she went on one date with Sardinha, that he was well known, and a member of the Portuguese Kids out of Fall River. Because he was well known, she agreed to let him pick her up for her date at her residence. She said after one date he sent long, and creepy text messages and she felt uncomfortable and decided not to see him again. She blocked him from social media, and he allegedly continued to text her.

The victim stated that Sardinha would text her while she was at work and would allegedly send her pictures regarding her being at work and even made a comment about her standing outside which made her feel very uncomfortable.

Sardinha was found guilty on Monday of Breaking and Entering and innocent of Larceny from a Building. According to the court clerk, he was sentenced to 30 days in the Bristol County House of Correction.
