Patrick M. Rose Sr. covered his face during his arraignment in West Roxbury District Court on multiple charges of indecent assault on a child under 14.
An investigation from The Boston Globe found that Boston Police knew of the evidence against Rose regarding the allegations, and still allowed him to serve as a patrolman.
According to the newspaper, the police department filed a criminal complaint against him in 1995 for sexual assault involving a 12-year-old boy. The complaint was dropped, but the department conducted an internal investigation which found that he likely committed a crime.














Comment: Sadly, this is not the first time police forces have covered up such heinous crimes. See also:
