NEWTON, Mass. -- A retired priest charged with raping a boy in his parish for seven years arrived in Boston Monday night and was escorted to the Newton Police Department, wearing a bullet-proof vest.

The Rev. Paul Shanley, who exited the police car with apparent difficulty, was expected to spend the night in a Newton police cell. He will be arraigned on three counts of raping a child at 9 a.m. Tuesday in Newton District Court, which is now sitting in Cambridge.

First I've heard of these new documents.

Back in my graduate school days, I lived in a brownstone across the street from Middlesex County Courthouse in East Cambridge.

Ahhhh, good old East Cambridge. The Courthouse is still there, and maybe the house you live in, but you might not recognize the rest of the neighborhood with the shopping center and plazas

Maybe Shanley can call Barney Frank as a character witness. I'm sure Maria Lopez would be happy to put in a good word for him, too.
