The courts in Pennsylvania had a busy day today! Not only Jerry Sandusky, but Monsignor William Lynn, a cleric who not only had a taste for children himself, but aided and abetted other clerical molestors by
reassigning them to new churches with unsuspecting congregations when they ran out of victims who were too scared to stand up for themselves. He would actually make up lies about sending these priests away because of medical problems. He was found guilty of child abuse (you can guess which kind.....he IS, after all, a Catholic priest) but surprisingly, not of conspiracy. I guess he DIDN'T KNOW it's a crime to aid and abet, and completely forgot that God does not like ugly, and the jury felt sorry for his sorry ass. Oh well, he'll only be locked up for three to seven years, but hopefully Rome and Jesus will begin to see that sexual assualt and sexual abuse are not appreciated. The annoying thing is, it is always really difficult to find a booking photo of an arrested Catholic priest. They seem to get away with just handing police a picture of themselves at the pulpit or posing in their robes and imagined halos.
Someone who actually was photographed in handcuffs and doing the "perpwalk" was Jerry Sandusky. The first complaint about his conduct was made in 1998, and his community, Penn State, thought it would be better not to listen. The sight of a child abuser in handcuffs as he is hauled off to jail for
for a period of time that will span the rest of his life is beautiful, but all the more so after so many young people who were not deemed worthy of justice waited for so long.
Here's Sandusky getting arrested. Maybe now that he has been found guilty, he can confess his sins to Father Lynn. Maybe there will be more mugshots and pictures of "cleric molestors" doing the perpwalk.
