Yes!
Former priest Paul Shanley, now 74, faces a maximum sentence of life imprisonment for raping a boy at a Massachusetts church in the 1980s. Shanley was arrested in May 2002 and extradited back to Massachusetts from California.
I won't further belabour my views about the scandal of sexual abuses perpetrated by employees of the Roman Catholic church and the response of the Pope to these abuses - one must just pray that the Church has finally learned the lesson that it cannot flout the secular laws of the nations in which it practises its cult.
