James Feeley, a former police lieutenant, pled guilty to multiple child sex abuse charges, involving assaults on a minor between the ages of 10 and 11, and is sentenced to four to six years.
During court proceedings, prosecutors outlined how the abuse occurred multiple times between August 2022 and December 2023, describing the child's first disclosure on Christmas Day and Feeley’s admission of guilt.
Feeley confessed to the assaults during a confrontation with his wife and was later found in a cemetery, armed and allegedly suicidal, prompting a psychiatric evaluation after his arrest.
The former lieutenant's case highlights serious issues of trust and betrayal in law enforcement, as the alleged offenses occurred while he was doing his job, raising concerns about police conduct.
