police reports are public record but respondents have 10 business days to RESPOND (not necessarily provide the requested material). the PD here did not have to provide this police report to the "public" but apparently the judge felt it was necessary to release the police report.
SOURCE: I was a public records officer for about 10 years.

"Public records officer" is a title pertaining to various municipal/county/state office functions and district/state courts. What you appear to be referencing is the process for someone responding to a criminal complaint against them; the question was about media access to police reports.

Different jurisdictions have different administrative protocols, but GENERALLY speaking, here's how it works: police departments have a daily call/dispatch log with chronological listings of officer activities both in the field and in-office (including if a citizen walks in to file a complaint, for instance). These are line-item summaries and most are pretty routine. The log is made available for in-office review by credentialed media. If a particular line item generates interest -- for instance, "gunshots reported at 55 State St. residence" -- the reporter can then ask to see the officer's full incident report detailing who/what/when/where. Police are obligated to provide incident reports at request UNLESS precluded by the court for any number of reasons, but this is rare.

So the info reported on Diggs likely was obtained through this process. The woman-chef walked in to file a complaint of assault which was logged as a line item. A media source found out about it then reviewed details from the incident report, which today hit the airwaves.

I think someone mentioned that a photo was taken of the incident report which is not allowed; at least, never in my 17 years of reporting experience. A media member can take notes from the report but not obtain a hard copy or photograph it.

There’s no sugar coating this. It just sounds really bad. I know, have to go through the legal process, but I am so against anyone raising their hands to ANYONE, male or female. I just don’t feel good about this, and I think it ends poorly for the Pats.
 
Menu choices....sure

Hiring/firing/pay disputes.....nope
He's not he's a corporation.
You could easily argue that not leaving these things to your "posse" is a far better business deciosn than doing it yourself.

You are/were a reporter? That's cool, especially to stick to it for so long. In an era where it's flooded with low pay and also bad actors, I always wanna give respect to those who stuck with it and were honest reporters.

I was a newspaper reporter for 17 years before leaving that to found/publish a music magazine. The slow demise of print media saddens me, as much broadcast/Internet news media has become so entertainment-oriented or politically biased. My reporter colleagues and I valued truth and objectivity above all else, a source of professional pride.

For anyone seeking truth and objectivity in national/international news reporting, I suggest perusing the Associated Press website (link below). The AP is an independent news-gathering operation free of special-interest obligations.

And I don't think the reporter can include private info like ones address and private phone . Am I right?

Generally true. That could put the news organization at legal risk, in some cases. But if Diggs murdered the woman, for example, the address where it occurred would become publicly known.

Who even knows if that report was real. So much created fake AI stuff now

Yeah society is going to crap. No more newspapers, no more movie theaters. The movies today are crap.
 
Thought the drama left with Tom and Bill.
Hope the team can focus and compete in the playoffs with this distraction.
 
Or at least counter sue the accuser, Michael Irving did counter sue his accuser and her employer the Marriot.
I think these false accusers should be prosecuted. Prison time would do more to correct them than anything. I wonder how often you get any money from the false rape/abuse accusers
 


Basically it's Goodell's call here unless this gets settled quickly.
In October 2024, Goodell placed then-Patriots safety Jabrill Peppers on the exempt list after he was arrested for an alleged domestic violence incident. Peppers was removed from the list the following month and was acquitted of criminal charges in January.
The fact that she went back to the house herself after the incident to collect her things suggests she wasn't greatly in fear of his actions - that would certainly hurt her position in court.
After the alleged assault on 12/2/2025, [victim] left her position and left the residence to stay with a friend in [redacted]. She said that on 12/9/2025, she returned to the house to get her property
 
If you do work in or on someone's house, and you get fired, then you have no right to be in their house or on their property after that termination. If there's a financial dispute you can call them to arrange payment, or go through other processes if that doesn't work, but you have absolutely no right to go in their house or n their property again without their permission,
 
This is just my guess, but I think we’ve seen Diggs last catch as a Patriot this year.

I think he will be on the exempt list by Friday.

The boat incident prior to the season raised eyebrows, but thankfully nothing bad happened. Then Diggs was a model player and changed man. You coukd not ask for a better teammate or more devoted player. Things were going too good.

To close out the regular season this BS that could have been so easily avoided.
