Child Sexual Abuse Accused Attorney Aneudy Gonzalez Files Last-Minute Motions in Fall River Court
Attorney Aneudy Neo Gonzalez, formerly a resident of Fall River, Massachusetts and accused of child sexual abuse, was back in court last Tuesday.
But rather than the motion hearing to dismiss the child sex case against Gonzalez, his attorney, Sam Sutter, filed two last-minute motions before the scheduled hearing.
One, to compel the Bristol County District Attorney’s office to release discovery evidence. And a motion for a “Bill of Particulars,” a written statement from the prosecution to provide specific facts of the criminal charges against Gonzalez.
A hearing on the motions is set for July 2.
Gonzalez, 45, was extradited May 2025 from Florida, where he was living at the time a Massachusetts warrant for his arrest was executed.
He is currently facing three counts of indecent assault and battery on a child under 14 and a charge of inducing a person under 18 to have sexual intercourse.
In October, Bristol Assistant District Attorney Jennifer Czapiga notified the court that the more serious charge of statutory aggravated rape of a child was downgraded.
Since his arraignment over a year ago, Gonzalez has been free on $10,000 cash bail.
He is also the co-founder of the Fall River based company, Mass Care Link, which provides adult foster care services.
Victim revealed identity
Breanna Donovan, now 23, was in sixth grade when she alleges that Gonzalez first sexually assaulted her. Gonzalez was the boyfriend of her aunt at the time and attending law school at UMass Dartmouth.
A second sexual assault allegedly occurred when Donovan was around 14 or 15 years old, according to police reports.
Donovan reported the two alleged child sexual assaults in 2017 to her mother who, and along with her aunt, Desirae Vieira, 36, of Fall River, filed allegations against Gonzalez. Officers from the FRPD Major Crimes Division investigated the accusations, according to a 2017 police report.
Vieira, Donovan’s aunt, had been in a relationship with Gonzalez starting when she was 15 years old and he was 24. The pair have a child together.
The district attorney’s office declined to prosecute at the time.
Donovan went back to police and the district attorney in 2025, along with a second alleged victim. But prosecutors only filed criminal charges in Donovan’s case.
The Fall River Reporter does not publish the identities of sexual assault victims, however Donovan went public in April, saying she refused “to be an unseen victim.”
Outside the Fall River Justice Center last Tuesday after the delayed motion hearing, Donovan acknowledged the ongoing case was getting more difficult.
“The more it goes on the less I’m handling it. I’m just trying to get through this because I don’t want this to happen to anyone else,” said Donovan.
