Summary

Retired New Orleans priest Lawrence Hecker pleaded guilty to kidnapping and raping a boy in the 1970s.

Hecker, who admitted to molesting several other children, will receive a mandatory life sentence.

The case has led to an investigation into whether the archdiocese ran a child sex trafficking ring.

    Never trust anybody that can do anything they want, and then clear their conscience just by asking forgiveness from someone nobody else can see.

    Turns out it wasn’t but only on a technicality: the child sex-trafficking ring was running the archdiocese.
