This is long overdue. It may not be the criminal responsibility they deserve but it will be, at least, some small accountability for what they did. Stoughton is a profoundly troubled and corrupt department. They need a DOJ investigation.

Replace Stoughton with any other city in any state and you would still be right.

The fuck?!? I hope all these guys rot in jail.

And sadly, becoming pregnant is an often deadly thing when someone is in a relationship that has domestic violence:

Homicide leading cause of death for pregnant women in U.S.

> October 21, 2022 – Women in the U.S. who are pregnant or who have recently given birth are more likely to be murdered than to die from obstetric causes—and these homicides are linked to a deadly mix of intimate partner violence and firearms, according to researchers from Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.

Most likely they won't go to jail, unfortunately. From what I understand, it's very difficult to prosecute rape without a statement from the victim, even if there's evidence that there was sexual contact when the victim was a minor. It sounds like they're trying to do as much as they can within the current legal restrictions.

Groomed her, statutory rape, and passed her around like a blunt at a 1980's suburban beer bash.

Aside from your bullshit deflection, funny how these "flaws" keep showing up in certain groups of people, repeatedly. Just a coincidence, I'm sure.

I look forward to nothing coming of this because people are afraid to convict police and the rest of the state justice system is cowardly.

I will be interested to see how this new commission goes.

Stoughton cops are fucking pigs. I grew up there, and during the pandemic they were out and about at bars and shit maskless and unvaxxed just spreading that shit and getting people killed.

Not just Stoughton. A former teacher who groomed a teen student is on a local police force.
