The Town Talk

Angelo “Doogie” Deboray Golatt fooled a lot of people for a long time.
Parents, his bosses, leaders of a Baptist church in Pineville, his wife. All were duped by his outward piety, his constant quoting of biblical scripture, his massive build, his charisma.
The boys whom Golatt counseled as their spiritual adviser at Donahue Family Baptist Church were fooled too, until he started raping them. Even after they discovered what he was, Golatt still held sway. By one victim’s account, Golatt sexually molested him at least 50 times over four years, yet he remained silent.
The victim, now a man, told a Rapides Parish sheriff’s detective that the sexual encounters started when he was 12.
