KENNEBUNKPORT, Maine — A former Massachusetts priest convicted of raping an altar boy is now accused of abusing boys at his camp in Kennebunkport during the 1980s.
On Tuesday, the York County grand jury indicted 74-year-old Ronald Paquin on 29 counts of gross sexual misconduct.
Police in Kennebunkport said their investigation started in 2011, when a victim came forward reporting years of abuse.
Policy at Portland television station WGME, CBS 13, is to not name victims of sexual assault, but one alleged victim is choosing to share his story publicly for the first time.
Keith Townsend said he lived in a house next door to St. John the Baptist Church in Haverhill, where Paquin was priest.
