When he should have been writing fishing regulations, Gloucester’s former shellfish constable was writing term papers for his boss.
The Massachusetts Ethics Commission says that the city’s former harbormaster had his subordinate, the shellfish constable, write several college assignments for him.
The shellfish constable wrote five creative writing assignments, three English lit essays, and five papers for a juvenile justice course for Ciarametaro while he was getting his bachelor’s degree.
At least six of the essays and 20 hours of the work were done while the shellfish constable was on the clock getting paid $39.91 an hour by the city.
“Ciarametaro knowingly used his Harbormaster position when he repeatedly asked his subordinate, the Shellfish Constable, to complete writing assignments for his courses at the College,” the commission wrote.
