The Boston Herald reports today that Father Ronald Paquin is expected to plead guilty today in one of the worst of the current sex abuse cases. He admitted abusing boys in a newspaper interview last January and was indicted in May of repeatedly raping a 12-year-old boy starting in 1989. He also has numerous civil lawsuits filed against him.
I hope he does the only honorable thing left for him and that is to own up to his sins and crimes and save his victims the pain and anguish of a trial.
