A former
Massachusetts priest who figured prominently in the Roman Catholic
Church's sex abuse scandal and pleaded guilty in 2002 to raping a child
will be released from prison after prosecutors dropped their effort on
Friday to send him to a state facility for sexual predators.
Ronald Paquin, who was defrocked in 2004, was one of the first arrested amid revelations that members of the Catholic clergy had sexually assaulted children and that bishops had covered it up.
