Defrocked priest arrested again; NH man one of his new accusers

A defrocked priest at the center of the Boston clergy abuse scandal, and at the center of an Oscar-winning movie about it, has been arrested on 29 counts of sexual misconduct against young boys in Maine. Ronald Paquin had served 10 years in prison for sexually assaulting a boy in Massachusetts.
Upon his release in 2015, a New Hampshire man contacted authorities in Kennebunkport, Maine, to say Paquin had sexually abused him when he was eight years old. The abuse went on for five more years according to Keith Townsend, now 42, who told Seacoast Online his story.
