Does he lose his pension and health benefits? Not if the Police Patrolmen's Association has anything to say about it.
Corruption in "public service" unions in this state is the norm.I could tell you stories....but it would take days.

You're missing that he was (allegedly) forcing her to have sex under color of his authority.
Women, even sluts (who may not be especially choosey) and prostitutes (who get paid for it), have the right to say "no" and to choose their partners.

This guy is a disgusting scumbag. For several reasons, some more obvious than others. I find it hard to believe that he is only facing a year in prison. This is Massachusetts,my friend.In this state,"public servants" are revered....even when they're doing time in state or Federal prison.

It doesn't seem like rape to me. Rape implies something precious was taken. This is like stealing a loaf of bread that was already for sale.

If a civilian rapes a woman at gunpoint, he's going away for a good long time.
But since this guy's a police officer, they're debating whether or not he should do a year.
Also, nowhere did I see a mention of whether this cop has to register as a sexual predator. He did violate a woman by force; whether she's a prostitute or not doesn't matter.

Gothca, so by your definition then, a prostitute cannot be raped. Interesting notion. Does that mean a college girl who has sex with a couple of different guys in her freshman year also cannot be raped? Where do you draw the line?

They are above the law. This is a guy who probably trashtalks others he arrests for being bad people. There are some good ones out there...that obey they laws they enforce and put their lives on the line to protect others. Hoever, what ticks me off is the ABOVE the law part. You know, the ones who are off duty and drive their own police cars 90 mph in a 60 mph zone out of their juristiction just because they can...not because they need to. And then you have those that go and DWI. They don't get (by and large) hauled off to jail like you or I would...they get a pass by fellow officers. Ask most officers and they will let a cop go who is blowing .15...but they will take you or I to jail. That's just plain criminal and gives cops the "above the law" stigma they have.

The scary thing is that if she had not taken his badge, there is no way that this guy would have been exposed.

Your post contradicts itself. Stealing is stealing, and this is rape. The cop is lucky to only be looking at a year.

Joe Sixpack would have been charged with rape & sodomy and sentenced to 10 yrs in prison.

"Prostitute? Sex? Abuse?

I am guessing that you are missing a conscience and a sense of right and wrong if you have to ask that question. Hope you aren't a police officer or anyone in a position of authority.

He did violate a woman by force; whether she's a prostitute or not doesn't matter.The article leads me to believe that the actual charge is not a sex crime but more of abuse of position as a police officer so there would be no provision for registering as a sex offender. Not that I don't think he should. Plus it's Federal court, a state court may have handled that part differently. Anyway it's good to weed out a POS like this from the force.
