| Former Roman Catholic priest William “Bill” Casey, center, leaves the Sullivan County Criminal Courtroom with officers after being sentenced Wednesday for sexual abuse of Warren Tucker in Kingsport in the late 1970s and early 1980s. At the time, Tucker was between 10 1/2 and 15 years of age, and Casey was the priest in charge of a Kingsport parish. |
Warren Tucker suffered in silence for nearly 30 years before he went to police with details of sexual abuse by Roman Catholic priest William Casey.
The tables were finally turned Wednesday when Casey, 77, was sentenced to serve a prison term of 35 to 40 years by Sullivan County Criminal Court Judge Robert H. Montgomery Jr., on convictions of first-degree criminal misconduct and two counts of aggravated rape.
He could be eligible for parole consideration after about 10-1/2 years.
