A 44-year-old man from Hanover, Massachusetts, has been charged with taking unauthorized upskirt photographs of women and underage girls at two stores in Hingham, including Derby Street. The man was arrested following accusations that he targeted unsuspecting shoppers at grocery and clothing stores. Separately, the Massachusetts Department of Education is under scrutiny after an audit revealed it failed to properly track child abuse and neglect cases involving licensed educators for several years, raising concerns about student safety. This has led to a federal investigation into the Burlington Public Schools over a student survey deemed too explicit by some parents. Additionally, former Massachusetts State Police trooper Michael Proctor, who was the lead investigator in the Karen Read case, is challenging his termination and seeking to be reinstated. The Massachusetts Department of Correction remains the only state entity with a unique agreement with ICE, according to recent reports.
