A retired Massachusetts police officer accused of rape has now been indicted by an Essex County grand jury.
Perry Collins, a retired officer with the Rowley Police Department, is charged with a count of rape.
Records obtained by the NBC10 Boston Investigators show Collins was the subject of a dozen internal affairs investigations during his career and faced warnings or discipline in six. The most serious was for abuse of overtime while working as the department's court officer in Newburyport District Court -- the very court where he stood accused on Friday.
The Rowley Police Department found Collins submitted overtime for hours never worked or just showed up to court when he wasn't needed. He was also reprimanded for manipulating the hours of details for his own benefit and ignoring a call for a well-being check.Collins has entered a not guilty plea in this case. He'll be arraigned in Essex Superior Court in April. He's collecting a $66,000 a year pension, but could lose that if convicted.
