Matthew Farwell, 39, once presented himself as an upstanding police officer from Stoughton, Massachusetts. But now he’s a disgraced and decertified inmate awaiting arraignment for the death of Sandra Birchmore and her unborn child — the latter of which carries a mandatory life sentence.
According to The Enterprise, Farwell was already facing first-degree murder charges, which themselves carry a potential life sentence. The former cop initially sought to prevent Birchmore from making it public knowledge that he had been grooming her ever since she was a minor. The Stoughton Police Department has since made it abundantly clear where they stand on Farwell, distancing themselves as much as possible from him and his actions — especially given the negative reputation such crimes from police officers attract in the first place.
