I hate to call him Father, but his name was James Kelly.
And he'd molested a number of kids in upstate New York, and the Catholic Church in its infinite wisdom put him at Boys Town.
And I was told by, every year, the students of Boys Town are like the mayor.
Boys Town is like an incorporated city.
And I was told by a former mayor of Boys Town,
that he felt that Father Kelly was compromised.
And that's how these kids were able to get passes for the weekend.
When I was looking at Boys Town, I was just looking for kids that had been trafficked by Lawrence King.
But then I encountered six kids that had been molested by James Kelly.
It's shocking.
The Catholic Church knew what he was about in upstate New York, and then they moved him to Boys Town.
They have a history of this, though, don't they?
Oh, yeah.
The Catholic Church moves the priest.
I mean, that's why they're getting sued.
into oblivion now is because they were fully cognizant of the behavior of these priests.
And then they would move them to a different parish.
The Catholic churches, you would think, would come to the point where it would be transparent.
And whatever happened, happened.
You would think it would be a spiritual organization.
