Jared Whelan Remy (born September 7, 1978)[1] is an American career criminal who pleaded guilty to the murder of his girlfriend, Jennifer Martel.
Jared previously worked for the Red Sox's security staff, but was fired after a Major League Baseball investigation implicated him in steroid distribution.
He was allowed to play after-school sports at Weston High School, but behavioral problems led to these privileges being revoked.
The ex-girlfriend and her father considered filing for a restraining order, but were concerned that Jared Remy would retaliate if they did.
On January 18, 1997, Remy allegedly led a group of teens that assaulted a fifteen-year-old friend of Guyette's in Franklin, Massachusetts.
The boy was later found by police incoherent; although he recovered from his "life-threatening head injuries", his relatives described his cognitive function and mood as permanently altered, and at twenty-two he shot himself to death.
[3] On August 7, 1998, Remy was arrested on charges of domestic violence and malicious destruction of property after he assaulted Guyette while she held their child, and damaged her car.
[2] On October 9, 1999, just two weeks before his probation was set to end, Remy became enraged after learning Guyette was spending time with one of his old high school friends, Erik Jackiewicz.
He said Remy had barged into his place of employment, blamed him for his latest breakup, boasted of having a gun and threatened to kill him.
[2] The roommate decided not to complete the request for a restraining order but instead asked police to tell Remy to leave him alone.
Inside, they found a gym bag containing "several hunting knives" and a baggie holding nine uncapped syringes, but no drugs.
Officers arrived to the scene and found Remy "yelling and screaming" at his mother through her car window.
According to her, Remy repeatedly called her that weekend to profess his love for her and threatened to "kill her if they don't get back together."
On January 21, 2001, Remy called Guyette and asked if he could take their son to a birthday party for the child of his new girlfriend.
The case was continued without a finding of guilt on condition Remy should remain in counseling and not violate the law any further.
At least eight times during their relationship, police reported claims Remy harassed, threatened, or physically abused her.
[4] On July 3, 2003, McMahon told police that he had threatened to kill her several times over the preceding week, and then confronted her at work where he punched her in the back.
He quickly posted bail and as soon as he was released, he used his cell phone to call McMahon and threaten her, which resulted in additional charges.
[5] On March 7, 2003, Remy was charged with hitting one of McMahon's closest girlfriends in the head with a bottle at a bar.
[4] In July 2004, Remy was charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon after he hit McMahon in the face with a cordless phone.
[4] In September 2003, Remy was leaving Waltham District Court, where hearings on three of his cases were held, when a police officer observed him shouting loudly into his cell phone.
The officer pulled him over and when police towed Remy's car, they found needles and steroids inside his backpack.
He typically worked day shifts, guarding gates, and searching the bags of guests who toured the park.
[10] In 2007, Remy and another security guard, Nicholas Alex Cyr, were reprimanded for taking boxes of World Series jackets.
[12] Detectives stated that there was a long, protracted struggle in the home that went through the kitchen, stairway, living room, and onto the patio where Remy pinned Martel down, and stabbed her multiple times.
[12] On September 24, he was indicted by a grand jury on charges including murder, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, and violating a restraining order.
He also stated that he would not contact his daughter while in prison and that he hoped his parents would receive custody of her because they have greater financial means.
"[16][17] On May 27, 2014, Remy pleaded guilty to the murder of Jennifer Martel and other indictments and was given the mandatory sentence of life in prison without a possibility of parole.
On April 3, 2014, Remy allegedly assaulted a fellow pre-trial detainee at the Middlesex Jail in Cambridge.
[23][24] Remy was accused of throwing scalding water in the detainee's face before beating him with his fists, a green plastic chair, and a bar of soap.
