ORLEANS COUNTY, N.Y. -- A former Rochester mobster is in trouble with the law again. This time accused of smuggling drugs for a woman at the Albion Correction Facility on Sunday.

Thomas Torpey, 68, faces several charges for allegedly smuggling Oxycodone, Percocet, and other narcotics to a woman serving time for arson.

That woman, Ashley Sizemore, 31, is serving a 52-month prison sentence for arson at a Spencerport home in February of 2014. Sizemore along with her brother, Johnny Sizemore used gasoline to spark the blaze.  

Former Irondequoit Police Officer Chad Rahn was living in the home at the time.  His ex-wife Stephanie Rahn is the Sizemore's sister. Chad Rahn testified in court he believed the arson was some sort of retaliation against him and was orchestrated by ex-wife.

Monroe County Assistant DA Brian Green told Time Warner Cable News that Torpey was in court on Sizemore's behalf every step of the way. He said it was his understanding that Torpey and Sizemore were living together and in a relationship.

Torpey, who's on lifetime parole for his 1985 second degree murder conviction, could be headed back to prison. He spent 23 years behind bars for hiring a hitman to kill a teamsters union official. Torpey was best known as the bodyguard for Salvatore “Sammy G” Gingello.


Note:  the article fails to link Chad Rahn to his father, ex-CoP for Greece Merritt Rahn, who everybody knew was crooked yet nobody did anything.   Note also the complete failure of our legal system to keepi Torpey in jail, along with the rest of this sordid lot.

Oh, and it that's not enough 1-degree-of-separation try these:

Both Rahn's got off with very little punishment for their misdeeds while in public service. Merritt Rahn also was able keep his pension.  I suspect the taxpayers of Greece & Irondequoit will likely be responsible for large civil suits well into the future for the misdeeds of these two scofflaw's formerly with badges...

Wow. Sounds almost as bad as my school district!
