LAWRENCE, Massachusetts — The trial of a Peabody police officer charged with molesting a family member and showing her and another girl Internet pornography is getting underway.
Jury selection in the Lawrence Superior Court trial of 49-year-old Frederick Wojick is scheduled to start Monday. Wojick is charged with nine counts of indecent assault and battery and two counts of disseminating obscene material to a minor.
Prosecutors say the girl told them Wojick had repeatedly touched her inappropriately, sometimes while showing her pornography, over a six-year period that started when she was around 11 years old.
Later, a second child came forward and said Wojick had also showed her pornography.
The defendant's lawyer tells The Salem News (http://bit.ly/1cGm8lx ) his client denies what he calls "salacious, sensationalized allegations."
Wojick is on unpaid leave.
