Weymouth Faces Lawsuit From Resident

Originally published March 10, 2017

WEYMOUTH, MA — The Town of Weymouth faces a lawsuit from a resident.

The Weymouth Police Department revealed Friday that a person has taken the town to court. The revelation came after resident inquiries about a person who has held signs regarding an officer across town.

Police say they have been aware of allegations made against Officer Jennifer Pompeo for almost two years. Police say state, local elder service agencies, and the police department have reviewed and investigated the resident’s allegations.

"None of these government or private agencies found or uncovered any wrongdoing by any Town employee, medical professional, or elder services advocate. The resident involved disagreed with our conclusions and has filed a lawsuit against the Town," police said on Facebook. "The Town Solicitor is aware of the lawsuit, will vigorously defend the Town, and will deny the allegations in court."

Because of this pending litigation, police say they are unable to comment further on the resident’s allegations.
