Ex-Massachusetts police officer William Farwell, who is suspected to have had an inappropriate relationship with Sandra Birchmore, and is the twin brother of her alleged killer, former officer Matthew Farwell, has been accused of sexting her while on duty.

William is suspected of sexting with Birchmore while on the job, improperly using the Department of Criminal Justice Information Services (DCJIS) database, and lying to state police about when he last saw the victim.

The POST Commission order presented the findings from investigators in the case that showed there were sexually explicit text messages exchanged between Birchmore and William Farwell in 2020, when she was 22 years old.

William Farwell admitted in police interviews that he had a sexual relationship with Birchmore for about two years when she was an adult and had sexual encounters with her in 2020 before her death, according to NBC Boston.

He told investigators the last time he saw Birchmore was in December 2020, when he'd found out she was pregnant with his brother's baby; however, authorities claim that text messages between William and Birchmore prove otherwise.

Their last sexual encounter was reportedly in January 2021.

William Farwell agreed to a permanent revocation of his police certification without admitting to the truth of the allegations outlined in the report.

Birchmore was three months pregnant when she was found dead in 2021. A federal case against Matthew Farwell is ongoing.
