Popular Medfield Barber Charged With Rape

MEDFIELD, MA (CBS) – “Just Ervin’s Barber Salon” on Main Street in Medfield is open for business, but the name on the awning and every sign on the door is washed off or taped over, leaving it as “Just ____Barber Salon.”

The change comes after the shop’s owner, 38-year-old Ervin Pizarro of Uxbridge, was arrested in February, charged with four counts of Indecent Assault and Battery on an Intellectually Disabled Person, and one count of Rape.

“A lot of people were shocked by it,” said Medfield resident Steve Caskey. He runs the town’s Facebook page “Concerned Citizens of Medfield,” where parents sounded off when learning the news of Pizarro’s arrest. “Numerous parents especially moms wrote in about how they brought their kids there,” he said.

Court documents show the barber was arrested in 2016 and currently has two open cases in Worcester County stemming from allegations of misconduct in the early 2000s.
