Early this April, the city of Boston released evidence that police union president Patrick Rose Sr. molested a child in 1995. This evidence has been withheld and covered up by the Boston Police Department since the initial incident. Rose pressured his victim to drop the charges. Despite this, he kept his badge for 25 years.
Rose is now facing 33 charges of sexual abuse of six minors ages 7 to 16. Among his latest victims is the daughter of the first child he originally pressured into silence more than 25 years ago. It wasn’t until August 2020 that Rose was finally charged and arrested.
