Moran Released on Bail PDF Print E-mail

The Duxbury police officer accused of assaulting and attempting to kill his girlfriend last fall has been released on $10,000 cash bail.

Sean Moran is facing 10 charges in connection with two incidents where he allegedly beat his girlfriend, a Milton police officer. The most serious of those charges, armed assault with intent to murder, carries a 20-year prison sentence.

During a dangerousness hearing last fall, Moran was order held for 90 days without bail in the Dedham House of Corrections. That 90-day dangerousness ruling was reaffirmed during Moran’s indictment.

When that dangerousness ruling set to expire, the Norfolk County District Attorney attempted to have Moran held on $100,000 bail, according to David Traub in the Norfolk County D.A.’s office. Judge Janet Saunders ordered Moran held on the $10,000 bail and fitted with a GPS device and he must stay at his parent’s house in Duxbury, according to Traub. Those conditions were originally proposed by Moran’s first attorney, John Gugliemli during the original dangerousness hearing.

Moran’s new attorney, Daniel O’Malley had initially requested a court date this week to make a motion to suppress evidence, but O’Malley never filed that motion, Traub said.

Moran is due in court again for a pretrial hearing on June 17.

Moran is accused of assaulting his girlfriend, a Milton police officer, on two occasions in Quincy. In November, he allegedly slammed his girlfriend’s head into a chain link fence following a surprise birthday party she threw for him, and in October, Moran allegedly wrestled his girlfriend to the ground at their Quincy home and pulled her service revolver on her.

In addition to the armed assault with intent to murder charge, Moran also faces charges of intimidation of a witness, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, two counts of assault with a dangerous weapon, malicious destruction of property over $250, three counts of assault and battery and threatening to commit a crime.

Moran, a four-year veteran of the Duxbury police department, is on unpaid administrative leave from the department and awaiting further disciplinary action.
