(Linda Kelly, Penn. Attorney General)(" I also want to offer my most sincere thanks to all the young men, the victims in this case who came forward to bravely testify during this trial//It was incredibly difficult for some of them to unearth long buried memories of the shocking abuse they suffered at the hands of this defendant and most of us cannot possibly fully comprehend when testifying in that packed courtroom//This is a crime that thrives in darkness it's fed by fear and threats, shame and secrecy; where predators seek, carefully seek, the most vulnerable prey while often they themselves are cloaked in respectability that sometimes is almost beyond reproach//Our goal here has always been to bring about a fair and just result in this case. That goal has been accomplished with the jury's verdict today and we believe that justice has been served.
