Former Billerica Police Officer Charged with Aggravated Rape of a Child – NBC Boston

A former Massachusetts police officer is accused of having a sexual relationship with a teenager and asking the victim to send him a nude photo, the Middlesex District Attorney’s Office said Wednesday.

Alexander Allen, 35, was indicted by a grand jury on charges of aggravated rape of a child 10 years apart and possession of child pornography. Prosecutors believe the charges stem from a sexual relationship he had with a 15-year-old girl.

According to prosecutors, Allen was working as a Billerica police officer in 2023 when he allegedly told another officer that he was having an intimate relationship with the teenager. The Middlesex County District Attorney’s Office and Billerica Police Department began an investigation at this time.

Investigators discovered that Allen first met the teenager when she was 14 years old. In March 2021, two months before her 16th birthday, prosecutors allege he picked her up from an appointment, took her home and had sex with her. He also allegedly asked her for a nude photo, which she sent him.

Allen is scheduled to be arraigned Oct. 25 in Middlesex Superior Court.

Further details were initially not known.
