ALFRED, Maine (AP) The delayed sentencing of a former Massachusetts priest who was convicted of sexually abusing an altar boy is scheduled for late May.
Officials at York County Superior Court in May say Ronald Paquin will be sentenced on May 24. Paquin was found guilty of 11 of 24 counts of gross sexual misconduct last year after a pair of men testified he invited them on trips in the 1980s and assaulted them repeatedly.
Paquin’s sentencing was delayed when his attorney filed a motion requesting a mental health evaluation. He had been slated for sentencing in early March.
He spent more than a decade in a Massachusetts prison for sexually abusing an altar boy in that state and was released in 2015 before being taken into custody in Maine.
