Nothing serious is going to happen to these perverts. Remember how many Catholic Priests are being brought up on these same charges... Members of the clergy, like those pedophiles who delight in child pornography, usually get off with a slap on the wrist. The usual pattern was to ship the member of the clergy (and it's not just limited to the Catholic Church) off to a new church with no mention of their prior child sexual assault. Only now--and after much public outcry--are some members of the clergy being held accountable for their actions.

I know the legal scenario all to well. The first thing the pedophiles are going to do is to get lawyered up, then they'll start their "he's a respected member of the community" tapdance to make sure their guy isn't punished in any meaningful way.
