Swampscott Man Charged Raping 2 At Gunpoint: Boston Police
Joseph Losano, who once sued Swampscott for removing him from the certification list as a reserve police officer, was arrested Tuesday.
BOSTON, MA — A Swampscott man was arrested Tuesday and charged with two rapes in which he allegedly took the victims into his vehicle and sexually assaulted them at gunpoint. Boston Police said Joseph Losano, 51, was arrested by members of their Fugitive Apprehension Team as well as Peabody and Swampscott Police.
Losano will be arraigned Wednesday in Roxbury District Court.
Losano once sued Swampscott for removing him from the certification list as a reserve police officer. The case was dismissed, and Civil Service Commissioner Donald Marquis said in his conclusion of the case that an investigation "depicts an individual not in touch with reality."
