Warning: Information contained in the following post is disturbing.

Martha Coakley is running for U.S. Senate in Massachusetts as a law enforcement candidate, talking up her record on convictions. The media has been all-to-willing to help further that narrative. But is she really the law enforcer she claims? Alas, no.

One particular case comes to mind. And here’s where things get disturbing. Keith Winfield was arrested in 2005 for raping his 23-month-old niece with a hot curling iron. Let that sink in for a moment if you can. Winfield raped a 23-year-old with a hot curling iron. It’s enough to make a full-grown adult throw up.

How did Coakley, then district attorney, respond to this horrific incident? Her grand jusry investigated the case and then decided to take no action whatsoever. The grand jury she oversaw let a child rapist walk. Only after the toddler’s mother intervened was Winfield indicted.

But, as even the liberal Boston Globe reports, Coakley wasn’t done being horribly incompetent and irresponsible. Ten months after the indictment, Coakley’s office recommended that Winfield be released to the public on no cash bail. Coakley wanted Winfield, who raped his toddler niece with a hot curling iron, to walk free.

Now Martha Coakley is asking Massachusetts voters to send her to Washington as a United States Senate. She’s presenting herself as law enforcement candidate you can trust to represent your family. But her actual record tells a different story.
