Acting Mayor Kim Janey said Tuesday that Boston police leaders failed to fulfill their obligations when they did not take further action against accused child molester and former Boston police officer Patrick Rose, Sr. when allegations against him first arose over 25 years ago.
“Based on a review of former officer Rose’s internal affairs file conducted by the City’s Law Department, it is clear that previous leaders of the police department neglected their duty to protect and serve,” Janey said in a statement. “Despite an internal affairs investigation in 1996 that found credible evidence to sustain the allegation against Rose for sexually assaulting a minor, it appears that the police department made no attempt to fire him.”
