The former head of the Boston Police Patrolmen’s Association facing child rape charges pleaded guilty to the “monstrous, monstrous acts” on Monday.
Patrick Rose, 67, the longtime president of the city’s police union is now facing 10 to 13 years in prison along with 10 years supervised release following the plea deal.
Rose on Monday pleaded guilty to 21 counts of child rape and sexual assault that occurred over a 27-year period. Six victims had come forward.
“We can only hope that this plea today provides some level of healing and recovery” for the victims, Suffolk District Attorney Kevin Hayden told reporters after the court hearing. “Anyone who was in that courtroom today knows the tremendous courage, fortitude and bravery that they withstood throughout this entire horrible incident.
“These are monstrous, monstrous acts,” he added.
Rose was investigated for similar charges in 1995 and a police internal affairs examination sustained the allegations. Despite those findings, Rose remained on the force and went on to serve as president of the union.
Boston Police Patrolmen’s Association President Larry Calderone said in a statement, “While there is no punishment or condemnation too severe for a man guilty of the atrocious crimes committed by Pat Rose, we hope today’s decision will bring with it some small level of comfort, closure and vindication for the victims and their families.”

They do not tell us who was responsible for this decision Prosecutor Audrey Mark noted Rose’s position and his violation of the children’s trust.
“He had these children’s trust from the beginning,” Mark said. “He didn’t need to gain it. By virtue of his position, he had their trust. And he violated their trust over and over. He violated their bodies.
“And these children, and these adult survivors, will live with that trauma for the rest of their lives,” the prosecutor added.
Several of Rose’s six victims delivered victim impact statements.
One of the victims talked about the “dead-soul feeling of emotional pain” the victim experienced because of the abuse.
“I saw you for what you really are — a coward, a predator of the weak and the defenseless,” the victim said.
Another victim said of Rose: “Your reputation? Absolutely gone. All you will ever be remembered as is another creep who has nothing going for him. Your job as a cop protecting people? Well, that’s really quite ironic, isn’t it?”
Last year, the city’s Law Department under then-Acting Mayor Kim Janey reviewed Rose’s internal affairs file.
“… It is clear that previous leaders of the police department neglected their duty to protect and serve,” Janey’s office said at the time. “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.”
