The investigation from the Globe further found that after the 1995 incident, Rose was still allowed to have contact with vulnerable children, and was even called to testify as the arresting officer in a child sexual assault case in 2006.
The news comes after Rose reportedly faces over 30 charges of sexual abuse of minors aged seven to 16 in Suffolk Superior Court. He is currently held in jail for $200,000 cash bail.
Acting Boston Mayor Kim Janey (D) told the Globe that the department’s behavior was
“appalling.”

"Appaling".......is this all it is? Should those who protected him not be dismissed and charged as accessories to these crimes? This goes to show how the police will go to nearly any length necessary to protect one of their own.
