Former priest John Geoghan, a notorious pedophile whose case sparked the clergy molestation scandal of the past 18 months, died this afternoon after being attacked at the state prison in Shirley.

``The perpetrator has been isolated,'' said Kelly Nantell, a spokeswoman for the state Deparment of Corrections.

``Our investigation continues,'' she said.

The matter has been referred to the Middlesex County District Attorney Martha Coakley's office.

Geoghan was serving a nine-to-10 year sentence at MCI Shirley for allegedly groping a boy at a Waltham swimming pool.

More than 140 people have claimed they were abused by Geoghan, claiming they were fondled or raped at locations ranging from church rectories to their own homes.

Geoghan would become one the most notorious pedophiles in the country - not only for the extent of his rampage against children but because relevations about his case led to the unraveling of secrecy within the Archdiocese of Boston.

Bernard Cardinal Law's cordial letters to Geoghan, mixing discipline with praise for his priestly service, that pushed many victims from disbelief to outrage.

Is there any doubt that the Roman Catholic Church is a tool of Satan?

Yes, Guillermo, there is not only doubt, it is outright false.

Now, speaking of tools of Satan. What about those that bear false witness?

Looky here. (#44)

Our legal establishment failed us so a scorned and lowly jailbird had to set it right. A lowly jailbird was given the task of balancing the scales of justice

Who do you say gave him the task ?

[StarCMC]

ROFLMBO!

[openotherend]

Maybe they'll bury him with his own personal handcart.

[norraad]

Oh, oh, the comfy chair got him!

...no, ..not the comfy chair, aaahhhhhhhhh!!!

CHILD MOLESTER AND RAPIST JOHN GEOGHAN:

CASE CLOSED. Now that justice has been

[AlbionGirl]

It's their 'Christian' side, dontcha know?

I don't particularly pity the man, because the poster (B-Chan) that said 'an ugly end to an ugly life', had it eloquent and right. But for goodness sake, extracting glee from his demise is trashy, and maybe even diseased. And kudos to you and everyone else that calls that kind of display what it is.

CHILD MOLESTER AND RAPIST JOHN GEOGHAN:

CASE CLOSED. Now that justice has finally been rendered.

[MEG33]

This man was a monster. My thought are with his victims.I don't want our prisoners to mete out "justice",however.

[olorin]

Let's reduce the sentences of any inmate who kills another inmate by four months for every inmate they take out.

Ooh, and another idea: let's put in pay per view cameras so sick jackasses like yourself could get off on watching the bloddy mayhem. Yeah, every single one of them deserves to die!!!!! Oh, and maybe a couple of extra months off if the killing is particularly brutal and drawn out, whaddya think?

>This should send up a nice rainbow colored flag to the rest of the pedophile priests.

Watch! Activists now
will use this as a reason
against sentences

of prison time. They
will say prisons are unsafe
for sex offenders...

[Bon mots]

Geoghan was serving a nine-to-10 year sentence

I hate to cheer violence, but as the father of two young boys, I am very glad to see that this monster does not walk in ten years.

[Tree of Liberty]

As an honest question, what do you think of Malachi Martin's assertions?

[B Knotts]

As soon as I heard the news, I knew that there would be threads filled with comments celebrating that our prisons are lawless.

[norraad]

You must really like The C H A I R !

[Terriergal]

OH well.

[Admin Moderator]

Knock it off.

[Calvin Locke]

It's a sad day when your prisons do a better job...

I hate to point this out, but now the lawyers for pedophile rapists can argue that a conviction is a death sentence.

[FITZ]

Because the convicts are as likely to rape and sodomize you as him. When the prison culture is unopposed it spreads.

Then I guess I'd better do what I can to stay out of prison. Country club prisons aren't doing much to deter crime --- maybe there is some pedophile out there paying attention and will quit their crimes. Or seek castration or something to avoid suffering the same fate. This pathetic individual showed no compassion in all his life, he used his position to rape boys.
