The Charlton Democrat filed legislation that REFLECTING POOL would make a pupil or client of an authority figure “incapable of consent to sexual rela- tions with such a person [an authority figure.”] In effect, the bill aims to prevent teachers, social service or mental health workers and others from having sexual affairs with those in their care, according to the text of the bill. “You would think it’s a given … but it’s not,” Alicea said. State lawmakers heard testimony about the bill at a Geraldo Alicea Tuesday, July 14 Judiciary Committee session at the State House. Support appears strong, especially from Dudley Police Chief Steven Wojnar, who testified at the hearing. “I hope the Legislature takes it seriously,” he said a day after the hearing. “It can’t do anything but help victims.” Wojnar’s support comes from dealing with the case of former Shepherd Hill Regional High School teacher Amber Jennings. In 2004, Jennings, then 30, was alleged to have had a sexual affair with a 16-year-old male student. Jennings eventually pleaded guilty to sending obscene photos, videos and messages to the student, and not the alleged affair. Jennings was sentenced to two years probation and was fired from her job. Worcester County District Attorney Joseph Shawn Kelley photo Early Jr. testified in support the bill as well.

He — serving on a nuclear submarine after graduating from the U.S. naval Academy. Committing to the event has also served as a way to help Carty shed some pounds and boosted his health. Carty said he weighed 268 pounds in February, and through a rigorous training regiment that has him wake up at 5:30 a.m. many mornings to ride before going to work, he now weighs 30 pounds less. The Pan Mass Challenge was just the turning point he needed in the battle of the bulge. “I needed that commitment,” he said. Carty said his goal is get under the 200 mark, but said he may not make it, after recently being side- lined from training for a month. Carty fell off his bike in June and broke his collarbone, which stopped him from riding for a while. He plans to keep up the riding hobby after finishing the PMC. He is back in the bike seat now often riding 32 miles in one day. One obstacle had stopped Carty from participating in the PMC before now — fundraising. “I always wanted to do it,” said Carty who has watched event since 2001 after moving to Charlton. He was unsure whether he could raise the $4,200 PMC requires each rider to contribute. So far, Carty said he has raised about $3,000 toward that goal. If he falls short, Carty said he’d be required to pay the difference. Since the inaugural Pan Mass in 1980, $240 million has been raised for cancer research, according to the organization led by Billy Starr.
