Today, I read about a defrocked priest in Maine who spent 10 years in jail for raping an alter boy. Looks like the POS might be going back to prison again.
Shortly after the original abuse scandal broke in January 2002, Priest Ronald Paquin admitted in an interview with the Globe that he had molested boys in Haverhill and Methuen over the course of his 15-year ministry.
Paquin claimed that he was raped by a priest in his youth. Before he was arrested, he received parish reassignments even after the Archdiocese of Boston quietly settled claims against him.
^This morning, ^ Paquin, now 74, pleaded not guilty to 31 new charges of gross sexual misconduct which occurred in the 1980s. Authorities allege that Paquin brought boys to Maine for "short-term stays" and then abused them, some of them as young as 9-years-old.
If he's guilty of violating this new set of victims too, I hope they lock him up and throw away the key.
