Episode Details

A former Gloucester cop, Alexander Aiello, has been permanently stripped of his law enforcement certification by Massachusetts’ police oversight board — effectively ending his career in the state forever. Currently serving a federal sentence for child pornography possession, Aiello, 36, is incarcerated in Georgia and expected to be released in October 2027 after pleading guilty. He received a four-year sentence in January but has already earned time credit. Prosecutors revealed he spent up to six hours daily viewing illegal content, often via the dark web, before his arrest. Though his defense emphasized remorse and that he never produced or distributed material, the court deemed his behavior deeply concerning. The board’s final decision ensures he’ll never wear a badge again in Massachusetts.
