Jeffrey Epstein Wasn’t Alone: Pedophiles and how their cleverness protects them.
Pedophiles come in all shapes and from all strata of society. There should be no belief that there is safety in the upper-class, professions, politicians, or religious leaders as there is, similarly, no more confidence than persons in any other classes of our culture would not be an offender.
The most recent instance solidifying the fact that a pedophile can be damaging children’s futures with impunity is seen in the case of a Boston policeman in charge of child sex crimes. The Boston Globe newspaper’s investigation revealed that he may have had union protection and he is awaiting trial on up to 33 counts of molestation.
Despite 1995 evidence, Patrick Rose kept his badge, worked on child sexual assault cases, and ascended to power in the police union. He went on to allegedly molest five other children.
The Globe investigation raises significant questions about how the department handled Rose, whose broader history of alleged molestation has only become clear now that he is jailed facing 33 counts of sexual abuse of six victims from age 7 to 16 in Suffolk Superior Court. For security reasons, he is being held in the Berkshire County Jail on $200,000 cash bail.
