Notorious abuser Paquette grants interview

September 28, 2009

Edward Paquette, who molested boys in three dioceses between the 1950s and the 1970s and was defrocked in April, has apologized to his victims in a newspaper interview. “I’m very apologetic and I’m very sorry,” he said. Paquette’s abuse has cost the Diocese of Burlington-- Vermont’s sole diocese-- over $13 million in settlements and trial judgments.
