Local MA private investigator in the news.
While ex-WRKO gabber Reese Hopkins cools his heels in a New York prison, he’s getting some big time help on the outside from a Stoughton gumshoe.
A private investigation firm whose president is a consultant for the TV show “48 Hours” has taken on the child rape case against the former Hub talk radio host.
Sean Mullen, vice president of the National Investigation Bureau Inc., believes Hopkins is “100 percent innocent.” Mullen became interested in the case after reading about it in the newspaper.
“It didn’t seem right,” Mullen told MediaBiz this week. So he reached out to the financially strapped Hopkins and took him on pro bono.
Hopkins has been at Riker’s Island for nearly a year awaiting trial for allegedly raping a girl when she was 11 and 12 years old. He was arrested last October, days after WRKO-AM (680) axed him amid budget woes.
Prosecutors say Hopkins raped the girl in a Manhatten apartment in 2004. The alleged victim was a friend of his girlfriend’s daughter.
Hopkins has said he didn’t assault the girl and was living and working in Connecticut at the time.
