BARNSTABLE, Mass. (AP) - Authorities say a veteran Boston fire lieutenant is facing multiple child rape charges.
A spokeswoman for the Cape and Islands District Attorney’s office says 56-year-old Edward Kulik Jr., of Barnstable, pleaded not guilty Wednesday to three counts of rape of a child with force and other charges. His bail was set at $3,500 with conditions.
The alleged assaults occurred in 2012.
Boston Fire Department spokesman Steve MacDonald says Kulik is a 31-year member of the department, but hasn’t been on active duty since the end of 2015, when he was injured.
MacDonald says Kulik filed for retirement in 2016 and is still going through the process.
Kulik could not be reached for comment.
