VICTOR NY— A former Boy Scout leader has been jailed in lieu of $20,000 cash bail after he was charged with sexually assaulting and photographing a sexual session he had with a 12-year-old boy more than two years ago.

Police said that Patrick Monahan, 46, of 10 Alpine Way said during a police interview that he molested at least two others while a Scout leader more than two decades ago.

State police said that he was arrested after the youth, now 15, reported the incident. Monahan was charged with use of a child in a sexual performance, a felony, and with misdemeanor counts of second-degree sexual abuse and endangering the welfare of a child.

But it's wrong and homophobic to keep gays out of the boy scouts...</sarcasm off>

But...only 73% of male homosexuals say they have had sex with underage boys...you can't condemn the whole group! Many just want to be servi..uh, be of service to teenage boys who may be curious or confused.

But it's wrong and homophobic to keep gays out of the boy scouts.

Gays would deny this guy is even gay, but most data suggest the majority of gays have had sex with minors. Gay perfer to minipulate statistics to declare their 2% population only commits a little less than 50% of the molestations.

Indeed.

Oh, the bitterness and rancor. My brothers and sisters (and those of us in transition from one to the other) what has happened to our inclusive Solstice Holiday spirit? What have we come to when we parade acts of love as crimes? After all, who among us didn't benefit from a guiding hand as children?

For the love of Gaia, all concerned citizens should contact the United Way and protest their egregious practice of withholding funding for the Boy Scouts - certainly this kind of statutory rape and sodomy meets their scrutiny for multicultural diversity and freedom for all.

Please, can't we all just get along?

(Now we can close...</sarcasm off>)

Jail is too good for him. Let the parents take him on a camping trip...

Ping. I don't see anything in this story about a homosexual pedophile about his being a Catholic priest. Isn't homosexual pedophilia supposed to be peculiar to Catholic priests? Also, I don't see anything here about his being a celibate. Isn't celibacy supposed to cause pedophilia?

Thanks for the ping. I'm not sure if your ping included lj so I pinged him.

Why, this is nothing but pure hate writing. The nice antiheterosexual communisty adds vibrancy to any setting. Here in Michigan, they are a key component of democrap governor jennifer (Jenny from the Block) mulhern's symbolism over substance "cool cities" initiative.
