A carnival worker from Oxford remained jailed on rape charges in Massachusetts on Wednesday despite the fact that the alleged victims have changed their stories.

The Plymouth District Attorney’s office said that one of the two girls who accused 18-year-old Jeffrey Witham of rape has recanted her story. Prosecutors said the second girl had become “indecisive” about her version of events, according to the Patriot Ledger of Quincy, Mass., which has been following the case.

The alleged victims are 13 and 14 years old. Police have charged Witham with two counts of rape, indecent assault and battery and kidnapping.

Witham, who lives at 100 Fore St. in Oxford, is accused of raping the girls over the weekend after meeting them while working as a carny at the Marshfield Fair. The incidents occurred at the home of one of the victims, police said.

According to police, the girls met Witham at the Marshfield Fair on Friday, the day the festival opened. The girls exchanged cell-phone numbers with Witham and spoke with him over a three-day period, police said.

According to early reports, Witham sexually assaulted one of the girls in the living room of the home before taking the second girl into a bedroom where he had sex with her.

According to the Patriot Ledger, Plymouth District Attorney spokeswoman Bridget Norton Middleton said one girl has indicated that she and Witham had consensual sex. But Middleton added that because the girl is under 16, it is still considered child rape even if not by force.

According to the Patriot Ledger, on Wednesday prosecutors and defense attorneys asked Judge Ronald Moynahan to reduce Witham’s bail.

However, at a hearing at Plymouth District Court, Moynahan said “nothing has changed,” explaining that the sentence is the same whether the sex was forced or consensual.

With that ruling, Witham remained behind bars on $150,000 cash bail.

According to public defender Kathleen Iaccarino, Witham was working at the Marshfield Fair to support his 5-month-old baby and his girlfriend in Maine.
