Warminster allowed a former police officer accused last month of sexually abusing four boys he met on the job to quietly retire in 2009 with a “work-related disability” and collect more than $180,000, plus a monthly pension.
James Christopher Carey, 53, of Cape May Court House, New Jersey, received an “honorable discharge” under the 2009 settlement, which allowed him to receive work-related disability benefits.
The revelation of the retirement deal became public following Carey’s arrest last month on more than 100 counts of child sex abuse charges, as well as charges of official oppression following a lengthy Bucks County Detectives investigation and inquiry by a Bucks County Investigating Grand Jury.
