Defrocked priest going to prison for raping boy

Deseret News (Salt Lake City),  Feb 16, 2005  

BOSTON (AP) -- Defrocked priest Paul Shanley, a central figure in the Boston Archdiocese clergy sex abuse scandal, was sentenced Tuesday to 12 to 15 years in prison for raping a boy repeatedly in the 1980s.

"It is difficult to imagine a more egregious misuse of trust and authority," Judge Stephen Neel said in imposing the sentence.

Shanley, 74, once known for a being a hip "street priest" who reached out to troubled children, was convicted last week of two counts each of child rape and indecent assault and battery on a child.
