A former Roman Catholic priest
convicted of sexually abusing an altar boy is being released from prison
after prosecutors withdrew a civil petition Friday to have him
committed as a sexually dangerous person.
Ronald
Paquin pled guilty in December of 2002 to raping a young boy from 1989
to 1990 while assigned to a parish in Haverill, Massachusetts. He was
convicted in 2003 and sentenced to 12 to 15 years in prison.
