John Geoghan — The Pedophile Priest Killed By A Molestation Victim In Jail

John Geoghan was a Boston priest whose career spanned 30 years across Massachusetts. He was also a serial child rapist who would meet a grisly death in jail.

John Geoghan was a Boston priest whose career spanned 30 years in six different parishes. He was also a serial child rapist who had 150 boys came forward to accuse him of sexual abuse during his time in the Catholic Church.

Throughout his time as a priest, other higher-ups in the church turned a blind eye to the continuous stream of sexual abuse Geoghan committed as he was sent from Parish to Parish.

In 1991, he was prosecuted on molestation charges, though he wasn’t defrocked from the clergy until 1998. In February of 2002, the Spotlight Team of the Boston Globe published a report on Geoghan which became the catalyst for the series of cases against sexual abuse within the archdiocese. Geoghan was sentenced to prison in 2002 for an incident in which he molested a 10-year-old boy in a swimming pool.
