Updated Apr 22, 2021;
Ocean City’s mayor announced Tuesday the city will hire an independent contractor to oversee the day-to-day operations of its beach patrol, which has come under fire for accusations of sexual abuse.
Mayor Jay A. Gillian also said one of his aides, Michael Allegretto, will be tasked with retaining a seasoned labor attorney to “ensure the city’s policies and procedures are sufficient, correctly implemented and properly communicated.”
The announcement comes as the Instagram account, ocbp_predators, continues to post anonymous stories of sexual assault and rape against members of the Ocean City Beach Patrol.
