Exactly my point. The only reason he stopped was because there were no little boys around. His youngest known victim was four years old! What a disgusting beast. I'm personally glad someone put him down.

Key Dates in Ex-Priest Geoghan's Case
BOSTON (MA)
Kansas City Star

Associated Press

Some key dates involving former priest John Geoghan, who became a central figure in the sex abuse scandal in the Roman Catholic church:

1962 - Geoghan ordained as a priest.

1962-1995 - Geoghan sexually abuses approximately 130 people, mostly grammar school boys, according to the alleged victims. Church officials order him to get treatment or transfer him, but keep him on as a priest.

1998 - Geoghan ousted as priest after the church reportedly pays millions of dollars to settle sex abuse claims.

1999 - Geoghan indicted on child rape charges.

Jan. 9, 2002 - Former Cardinal Bernard Law acknowledges he moved Geoghan from parish to parish despite evidence the priest had molested children. Law apologizes to Geoghan's victims and promises to bar any abuser from ministry.

4 years old? That poor kid will be messed up for life.
Imagine how much of this happens in the public schools where morality is politically incorrect!
