FRAMINGHAM, Mass. — The daughter of a judge at the center of a Massachusetts State Police scandal pleaded guilty in court Friday.
Alli Bibaud was sentenced to 14 months of probation and ordered to undergo random drug testing after pleading guilty to drunken driving and negligent operation charges. She also still faces a drugged driving charge.

Two troopers said they were forced to alter her police report as a favor to her father, and that ultimately led to the abrupt resignations of the state’s two top cops.

Friday’s court appearance was a standard pre-trial conference on OUI and drug charges at Framingham District Court, but the aftermath of Alli Bibaud’s mid-October arrest has had significant fallout for state police.
Bibaud, the daughter of a Worcester County judge, is accused of offering troopers sexual favors for leniency during her arrest last month.

The troopers put that allegation into their arrest report.
But, in a federal lawsuit, troopers Ryan Scevoir and Ali Rei said they were ordered by top brass to remove those embarrassing details or risk losing their jobs.
And just this week, Colonel Richard McKeon and Lieutenant Colonel Francis Hughes both abruptly retired.

The Attorney General’s Office is now investigating.
On Thursday state police released a statement announcing the new superintendent, Col. Kerry Gilpin, would investigate what happened as well, writing:
“Colonel Gilpin has determined that her office will conduct an investigation into the revisions made to Alli Bibaud’s arrest report and a review of applicable policies and regulations. The effort will inform the Colonel with regard to actions taken by state police officials.”
