Fall River schools employee facing charge of attempted rape of child after Brockton arrest
A Fall River schools employee is facing charges including attempted rape of a child after being arrested in the parking lot of a Brockton hotel on June 25. State Police troopers and Brockton police officers arrested Kevin Galloway, 71, of Millis, and charged him with attempted rape of a child, paying for sexual conduct with a child and enticing a child under 16, according to Gannett news partner WCVB. "While we will not disclose investigatory tactics, it is important to note that no child was victimized as part of this specific incident," state police said. The Plymouth County District Attorney's Office has not yet responded to a request for clarification as to the nature of the arrest. Superintendent Tracy Curley said in a public statement that Galloway is a 'now-former employee of B.M.C. Durfee High School.' According to a fiscal year 2026 School Department budget, Galloway was a facilities manager and was budgeted for a $91,508 salary. She noted that the incident is alleged to have occurred 'outside of school hours and off school property.' 'At this time, we have not received any reports indicating that the alleged conduct is in any way connected to the Fall River Public Schools,' she stated. School Committee member Collin Dias called for 'a thorough investigation' to determine if Galloway is alleged to have engaged in any misconduct on Fall River schools property.
