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.” RELATED ARTICLES Karen Read, accused in death of boyfriend Boston Police Officer John O’Keefe, indicted on second-degree murder charge Boston police officer reports feeling ‘intimidated’ by City Councilor Julia Mejia Boston releases more files on child-molesting former police officer Patrick Rose. 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.” Tags: Boston Police Boston Police Department Boston Police Patrolmen’s Association child rape rape sexual abuse Sexual Assault Suffolk County District Attorney Suffolk County District Attorney's Office

Syria shuts down main airport after Israeli hit causes ‘sizable’ damage June 12, 2022 Syria closes Damascus airport due to damage caused by alleged Israeli airstrike, June 10, 2022 (Syrian Observatory of Human Rights) Email Print 12 Comments The airstrike reportedly hit Iranian arms depots at the Damascus international air hub. By Batya Jerenberg, World Israel News Syria announced Friday that it has temporarily closed its international airport after alleged Israeli airstrikes in the pre-dawn hours caused “sizeable” damage to its sole civilian runway. The government’s Transportation Ministry said that it was suspending all flights due to the fact that the runway had been damaged “in several locations” and “some technical equipment stopped functioning at the airport.” One civilian had been injured in the attack, it said. “Civil aviation and national companies are working… to repair the sizeable damage at the airport,” the ministry added. Satellite images published by Israeli company ImageSat International showed three craters on the northern civilian runway, and three on the southern military runway. The Syrian Observatory of Human Rights (SOHR), a British-based opposition group, says the latter had not been yet put back into service since alleged Israeli airstrikes hit it last year because the damage was so extensive. According to SOHR, maintenance workers have been working steadily since Friday to repair the damage. “Vast parts of the old airport terminals were destroyed,” which had been used to “receive undercover figures from Iranian-backed military commanders and Lebanese Hezbollah,” the group said. The terminals also included sections of “old lounges” that were being used to store Iranian weapons. In a previous report, SOHR said that the strikes had targeted “three warehouses of Iranian-backed militias in the perimeter of the airport.” Repair work was currently also underway on the navigation lights and communications tower, SOHR said. The Russian Foreign Ministry slammed Israel for its alleged attack. “We are compelled to reiterate that the ongoing Israeli shelling of the territory of the Syrian Arab Republic, in violation of the basic norms of internationals law, is absolutely unacceptable,” said ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova. “We strongly condemn Israel’s provocative attack on the most important object of the Syrian civilian infrastructure,” she said, adding that her country “demands” that Israel “stop this vicious practice.” Israel and Russia have a deconfliction mechanism in place in Syria, whereby Jerusalem makes sure to keep Moscow informed of its military actions so that no accidents occur involving Russian military personnel stationed in the country. The Israeli government has not fulfilled Ukrainian requests for the Iron Dome anti-missile system and other military hardware in its fight against the Russian invasion of the country in what is widely acknowledged as an effort not to antagonize the Kremlin due to its prominent role in Syria. According to various Syrian sources, this was the third Israeli attack in the country within a week. On Monday night, the IAF allegedly struck a weapons factory south of Damascus, causing enormous damage. Israel Hayom reported that it was “most likely” a facility where Hezbollah was trying to turn rockets into precision-guided missiles. On Tuesday night, Israeli tank fire from the Golan Heights hit Syrian military positions over the border. While the exact numbers differed in the reports, it appears that at least several pro-Iranian militiamen were killed and another half a dozen people were wounded in the airstrikes.
