32 Lorraine St. in Barrington is an 9,000-square-foot vacation rental owned by former state Rep. David Caprio.
The Barrington house where radio shock jock John DePetro allegedly sexually harassed WPRO coworker Dee DeQuattro is owned by former state Rep. David Caprio.
Sources who spoke on the condition of anonymity confirmed the address of the house in question as being 32 Lorraine St., a very high end vacation rental known as Beach House, a 9,000-square-foot, 1895 Victorian-style mansion that rents for $8,800 in the summertime, according to a vacation rental website.
Barrington property records indicate the property is owned by John LaRochelle and David Caprio, both Providence attorneys. It is appraised at $1,545,800 and has 24 rooms, 14 bedrooms and 5 full bathrooms.
Caprio, a Democrat, was a state legislator representing Narragansett from 1999 until 2010 when he lost in a primary to Rep. Teresa Tanzi. His brother Frank ran for governor against Linc Chafee and famously told President Obama to “shove it.” Their father Frank is a well-known local TV judge on the show “Caught in Providence.”
A phone number of the vacation rental website rings Caprio’s phone, who could not be immediately reached for comment. According to a press release dated January 21, 2011 from his web designer, Caprio has recently stepped up efforts to rent the property.
“Former State Representative David Caprio recently stepped up efforts to attract visitors to his 9,000 square foot vacation home in Barrington, Rhode Island,” reads the press release. “Although the Victorian estate, affectionately known as the Beach Mansion, has been available for booking in the past, Caprio received fewer reservations than he would have liked.”
According to DeQuattro’s lawsuit, her and DePetro were to get lunch together on the afternoon of May 21.
“DePetro instead stated he had another place in mind and drove to a house on a dead end street in Barrington,” according to the filing. “Plaintiff inquired where they were and DePetro said he owned the property and insisted plaintiff exit the car and come into the house while he retrieved an item. While inside the house DePetro made sexual advances towards the Plaintiff.”
DeQuattro declined to comment on the lawsuit or the house in question.
Ew.

Horrible grammar. It undercuts your credibility to write so poorly. You should have said: SHE and DePetro etc.
Thought Question: Do these people control any choke points in the local economy, or, do they just live very large??
And, if so, from what sources do they derive their massive incomes?
Could they possibly be considered to be local aristocrats? …power brokers to the outside world??
If so, we’re living among aristocrats (and these are the “good” ones) and on terribly unequal terms.
It costs a twenty-three year old what could possibly be a mortgage payment (and certainly most of his income) to live in a second rate apartment, while this character tries to turn a status rental into the Playboy mansion by way of the Jersey Shore at $9,000 monthly??
Without the abs to carry it off, it would seem.
Listen, all of you disenfranchised “taxpayers” in your leasehold situations, you’re getting ripped off by the corrupt local elites. The “financial” types. (Who bundled your mortgage? Remember them?)
I know. Tattoo shops. Small businesses. the wisdom of one Ronald Reagan…
It’s the schools.
Mrs. Kelly was going to the convenience store to get tissues so you could wipe your nose, but she and her (echo chamber, please) bloated pension are now what’s causing the malaise in little Rhody. Not that character covered in fragrant oils.
Remember Chuck Stevens?? THE MALAISE IN LITTLE RHODY, brought to you by Armand’s Hardware. Oh, Armand!!
This disc jockey’s allegedly tryin’ to compel an unwilling fellow human in a Barrington vacation rental, so he can later get back to work, telling the naugahide crowd what to believe in.
It’s a soggy as old french fries.
“But, we luv it ’cause we’re so cluelessly cranky.”
“while this character tries to turn a status rental into the Playboy mansion by way of the Jersey Shore at $9,000 monthly??”
Pretty sure that $9,000 a week!
I stand perplex–ed!!
depetro took her to caprios house??? what a hoot, we have always said down here that john depetros real radio name should have been The Independent “Caprio” Man. This probably explains why he spends so much time banging on Teresa Tanzi . lol
in all fairness to david c im sure he is not a happy camper about getting dragged into this crap, i doubt johnny will be getting any more all expense paid trips to italy any time soon,
