...... "A state trooper's incident report said that, at about 12:35 p.m. on Sept. 4, he saw Lt. Raposo masturbating in the woods near a westbound rest area while two other men watched"




A Fall River police lieutenant, suspended in September after state police charged him with committing lewd acts while off-duty in a Swansea rest area, is back on active duty, according to department officials.

Lt. Eduardo Raposo, 47, of Swansea, returned to full duty Jan. 3, according to police. He had been on paid suspension since his arrest. The release said Lt. Raposo was brought back to full duty after Judge John M. Julian dismissed a felony charge of open and gross lewdness against him Dec. 22.

Bristol County District Attorney Paul F. Walsh Jr. said he believes the dismissal came as a result of Judge Julian's "very technical reading of the statute."

A state trooper's incident report said that, at about 12:35 p.m. on Sept. 4, he saw Lt. Raposo masturbating in the woods near a westbound rest area while two other men watched.

One of the men was released, although police sent him a citation for a parking violation via mail. The other escaped.

Mr. Walsh said prosecutors had to prove the nature of the lewd conduct, that it occurred in a public, open place and that it "shocked and alarmed" the public.

"The nature of the conduct was well-proved," Mr. Walsh said.

He said some of the testimony in the case disputed whether or not the incident took place in an "open" area.

"I personally think that area's open, though," Mr. Walsh said.

The prime reason for the dismissal, he said, was the person who observed it was an on-duty police officer, which the court does not count as a member of the public.

"Therefore, there was no shock or alarm to the public," he said.

Mr. Walsh said whether Lt. Raposo is still fit to serve is "a decision for the police chief."

Fall River Chief John M. Souza did not comment on the matter. However, spokesman Lt. Wayne Furtado said that Lt. Raposo's status with the department depends on the outcome of a pending misdemeanor charge in District Court of indecent exposure and the results of an internal investigation and an independent review.

The internal investigation is almost complete, according to the Office of Professional Standards. The investigation's results will not be released until a ruling comes on the misdemeanor charge against Lt. Raposo.

"It's probably been one of the most thorough investigations I've ever seen," Lt. Furtado said. Lt. Furtado said Lt. Raposo works the night shift as a commander of its B watch.
