Dominick Boschetto, a 31-year-old Auburn police officer, was arrested during a Massachusetts State Police undercover operation targeting human trafficking. He was charged with soliciting a minor and enticing a child. Despite pleading not guilty at his arraignment, evidence from phone calls and texts revealed his intentions to engage in sexual acts with an undercover officer posing as a 15-year-old. Following his arrest, Boschetto was placed on administrative leave, and an internal investigation is ongoing alongside criminal proceedings, underscoring the serious nature of the allegations.
Boschetto's alleged actions were questioned during communication wherein he even asked if the 15-year-old girl was 'worth the risks,' displaying a disturbing disregard for the law.
Auburn Police Chief Todd Lemon emphasized the gravity of the situation, stating, 'We work hard every day to maintain the public's trust; this matter is extremely concerning.'
During the undercover operation, Boschetto agreed to sexual acts with an undercover officer posing as a 15-year-old female, highlighting the dangers of targeted human trafficking.
The Massachusetts State Police’s extensive operation targeted individuals seeking to engage in prostitution-related offenses, leading to Boschetto’s arrest and subsequent arraignment.
