EXCERPTS
"He had to hear me screaming and crying. Instead of helping me, Jeff Perry denied anything happened," said Allen, who released the statement to the Globe through her lawyer.
"Perry did not care about protecting teenaged girls in Wareham from police officer Flanagan," Allen said. "Jeff Perry cared only about protecting police officer Flanagan."
Perry was not charged in either the 1991 or 1992 assault. He resigned from the Wareham police 17 days after Flanagan was indicted, but has said his leaving the force was unrelated to the strip search cases.
Perry has also acknowledged misstating the facts of the 1992 strip search on his bar application, in which he said the victim had been arrested. Neither of the girls was arrested. The family of the second victim won a lawsuit against the town of Wareham, and Allen's family settled out of court.
"Chief Joyce now says Jeff Perry was a good cop," Allen said. "Neither Chief Joyce nor Sergeant Perry were good cops. Chief Joyce refused to investigate when my mother complained about what Flanagan did to me. Like Perry, Chief Joyce protected police officer Flanagan instead of protecting teenaged girls from police officer Flanagan."
