Disgraced Waltham Officer to Receive Retirement Benefits

Former Waltham Police Officer Paul Manganelli is facing child pornography charges.

The Waltham Retirement Board on Thursday unanimously approved retirement benefits for former Waltham Police Officer Paul Manganelli, who is facing child pornography charges. 

However, the board has not yet determined how much Manganelli will receive. That calculation will be made by the end of November, according to Waltham Retirement Director Joseph Juppe. 

Manganelli resigned on Oct. 8 days before he was indicted on child pornography charges. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges.

If Manganelli is eventually convicted of a crime, the board plans review the case and determine whether he broke rules relating to his job. If the board concludes he broke such rules, they can revoke his benefits and order he pay them back, according to the board's attorney, Michael Sacco.
