A Bristol County man will stay behind bars after disturbing cries against children.

According to the Parole Board, in 2003-2004, then 43-year-old Paul Hawksley of Mansfield was one of the leaders of a youth group affiliated with the Fellowship Church in Easton. During this time, Hawksley repeatedly raped a 12-year-old boy (hereinafter the victim), who was a member of the youth group. The victim moved to Easton in 2003 and became involved in the youth group to meet new friends. Hawksley groomed the victim over a period of time-calling him multiple times a day, inviting him to sleepovers, and singling him out with gifts and attention.

On one occasion,Hawksley brought the victim, along with Hawksley’s family, to a Pawtucket Red Sox game. After the game, the group returned to Hawksley’s house. He and the victim went to the family’s basement to play video games. Hawksley, however, then sexually assaulted the victim.

Hawksley denies committing the current offense. He has a documented history of prior incarceration for raping multiple children, crimes he admits to, and all of his offenses follow a similar pattern of predatory sexual behavior.

He will be up in front of the Parole Board again in 5 years.

I was expecting a transgender. These pastors can’t keep it in their pants. Hopefully they throw away the key.

What are the odds of a chicken hawk named Hawksley?
