Something is wrong with this story. Aside from the act of child molestion, of course. I went through the link's archives and read the original story:

Gonsalves originally goes in kicking and screaming his innocence on these charges, then ends up plea bargaining. Guilty of 62 charges of molestation, and gets one year in jail? There's something fishy going on, imo.
I'd also like to know if there are other victims. I wonder if he was ordered to plead out by the Bishop for monetary reasons? I'm betting his lawyers were hired by the diocese, and took their marching orders from the Bishop and higher up.
Dear SpottedOwl,
"There's something fishy going on, imo."
Indeed. It wouldn't be the first time that a genuinely innocent man took a plea bargain that included minimal punishment.
