Local ex-chief faces child enticement charge in Leominster

Massachusetts State Police have charged former Stow Police Chief Ralph “Rusty” Marino with one count of enticing a child under 16, according to a press release from the town of Stow on April 24.

 

He will be arraigned May 22 in Leominster District Court, according to WCVB, the Champion’s news partner. The case was filed April 21, according to court records.

 

On April 18, Marino voluntarily placed himself on indefinite administrative leave after meeting with representatives of the State Police. He left Sgt. Darren Thraen in charge.

 

In their statement, selectmen stated that Marino turned in his badge, service firearm, keys and vehicle. His computer was secured in case it was needed as part of the investigation.

 

Marino, a Lancaster resident, resigned from the Stow Police Department on April 22, and the board accepted his resignation that evening. As of April 24, Marino is no longer on the town of Stow’s payroll.

 

“Neither the State Police nor the District Attorney’s office nor anyone else has given us any reason to believe that any other employee in the police department was aware of or aided any illegal activities,” selectmen stated. “We have no reason to believe that anyone did. We have no reason to believe that the operations of the Stow Police Department were affected in any way.”

 

A YouTube video posted April 19 by a group known as Predator Poachers Massachusetts appears to show Marino being confronted in a public parking lot in downtown Leominster by a self-proclaimed activist from Fitchburg, who claims he poses as underage boys online to catch child predators. The video also appears to show a series of sexually suggestive text messages sent on April 11, April 13 and April 16 between a man from Leominster named Mark (later said to be Marino) and a male who said he was a 14-year-old named Alex.

 

“There is no reason for residents to believe that the high quality of public safety services in Stow has changed at all. The men and women of the PD will continue to support us through this time, because that’s their job. We should support them through this time as well, because they’ve earned our support,” stated Stow selectmen.

Former Massachusetts Police Officer Arrested in Connection with Murder of Young Woman

Wednesday, August 28, 2024

For Immediate Release

U.S. Attorney's Office, District of Massachusetts

Defendant allegedly murdered a pregnant young woman and staged her death to look like a suicide to prevent law enforcement from learning about their sexual relationship which began when she was a minor

 

BOSTON – A former Stoughton, Mass. police officer has been charged in federal court in Boston with allegedly murdering a young woman to prevent her from disclosing information about his longstanding sexual exploitation of her while he was on duty, beginning when she was a minor.

 

Matthew Farwell, 38, of North Easton, Mass., has been indicted on one count of killing a witness or victim. Farwell was arrested this morning and will make an initial appearance in federal court in Boston at 2:30 p.m. today.

 

According to the indictment, on or about Feb. 1, 2021, Farwell allegedly killed Sandra Birchmore by strangulation. It is alleged that Farwell staged her body and apartment to make it appear as if Birchmore had committed suicide. The indictment alleges that Farwell killed Birchmore with the intent to prevent law enforcement from learning about Farwell’s commission or possible commission of federal offenses.

 

According to court documents, Farwell was a sworn officer of the Stoughton Police Department beginning on or about March 27, 2012, until on or about April 1, 2022. In his capacity as a police officer, Farwell served as an instructor for the Stoughton Police Department’s Explorer’s Program, which is a vocational education program designed for youth to learn about careers in law enforcement. Sandra Birchmore joined the Stoughton Explorers Program in 2010, when she was 12 years old. Farwell allegedly used his authority and access to groom, sexually exploit and ultimately sexually abuse Birchmore when she was 15 years old and continued to have sex with her when she became an adult.

 

On several occasions, Farwell allegedly engaged in sex acts with Birchmore while on duty as a Stoughton police officer. To conceal this activity, it is alleged that Farwell falsely represented that he had worked certain hours, when in fact he was not working but engaging in sex acts with the then-minor victim. Farwell’s sexual contact with Birchmore continued until her death on Feb. 1, 2021.

 

In December 2020, Birchmore learned that she was pregnant. According to court documents, she was excited about the pregnancy: scheduling doctors’ appointments, purchasing items for childcare and telling loved ones how happy she was to become a mother. Soon after she learned she was pregnant, Birchmore told Farwell that he was the father of the child and that she expected him to be involved, at least in part, in the child’s life. Birchmore disclosed to loved ones that Farwell allegedly became violent with her when they discussed the pregnancy and his role in the child’s life. At one point while she was pregnant, Farwell allegedly held Birchmore in a headlock and told her that he wished she were dead.

 

On or about Jan. 20, 2021, Birchmore’s friend called the Stoughton Police Department and referenced Farwell and Birchmore’s sexual relationship. Upon learning this, Farwell allegedly then sent Birchmore angry text messages and, a few days later – approximately one week prior to Birchmore’s death – Farwell visited Birchmore at her apartment in Canton and asked her if she could give him a spare apartment key and keep it a secret. It is further alleged that one week prior to her death, Farwell visited Birchmore’s apartment and began looking through her closets and bathroom, conduct which made her uncomfortable. The court documents allege that, on Feb. 1, 2021, facing perceived imminent disclosure of his criminal conduct, Farwell murdered Birchmore to silence her.

 

According to court documents, while Birchmore’s death was initially ruled a suicide, the federal investigation probed old evidence and revealed critical new evidence leading to the charge against Farwell.

 

The charge of killing a witness or victim carries a mandatory sentence of death or life in prison. Sentences are imposed by a federal district court judge based upon the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and statutes which govern the determination of a sentence in a criminal case.
