((Lynn Rooney/Assistant District Attorney ) "he suddenly felt a hand" The prosecution's case against John Geoghan is over a decade old. He faces a charge of indecent assault on a child under 14. The court is not allowing the media to use the name, or show the face of the alleged victim he says the priest was helping him learn how to dive at a swimming pool back in 1991... when he assaulted him. "turned around and pushed away and got away as fast as possible and swam to the other side of the pool."
but the defense tells a much different story, (lead up to sot) saying
geoghan was only trying to help the child out of the pool. Geoffrey Packard/Defense Attorney: John geoghan put his hands on his butt and started pushing him up". Geoghan faces ten years in prison if found guilty. but this is hardly the only case against him. 84 civil lawsuits have been filed and (18:46:02)more than 130 people claim the former priest fondled or raped them during the three decades he served in Boston area parishes. -Cardinal Bernard Law/Archdiocese of Boston - evening news "I wish to apologize once again to the victims of sexual abuse by priests" Those are the words of Cardinal Bernard Law last week. But the apology came just days after a Boston paper reported that in 1984 Law allowed Goeghan to continue as a priest, even though he had been removed from two parishes for molesting allegations. On Thursday the prosecution is likely to call a psychiatrist who is expected to testify that geoghan told him in 1995 he still had sexual impulses towards boys. at this point it is unlikely that geoghan will take the stand in his own defense.

Having a mom that rarely misses a game and is Tonia's biggest fan in the stands always helps and the fact than Cynthia Brown coached her daughter at William Fleming allows for some expert analysis.
