What began as a story of taking a vulnerable child into a safe home has now spiraled into a courtroom drama.
A Massachusetts police officer, Samantha Pelrine, who was once publicly praised for her commitment to service, was seen sobbing in the courtroom as disturbing allegations surfaced about what prosecutors described as years of ab*se behind closed doors.
She and her husband, Daniel Forand, have been reportedly charged with multiple counts of child r*pe.
