| Court Allows Pay for Man Who Guarded Geoghan By Associated Press Boston Herald November 20, 2008 http://news.bostonherald.com/news/regional/view/2008_11_20_Court_allows_pay_for_man_who_guarded_Geoghan/srvc=home&position=recent BOSTON - The highest court in Massachusetts has upheld disability benefits for a prison guard who said he was traumatized after being falsely accused of harassing pedophile priest John Geoghan. Cosmo Bisazza said he suffered post-traumatic stress disorder after Geoghan was murdered by another inmate. He said inmates threatened him and told reporters he had harassed and beaten Geoghan, including by placing feces in his cell. Geoghan was in prison for groping a 10-year-old boy. He was accused of molesting as many as 150 boys and was a central figure in Boston’s clergy sex abuse scandal. Bisazza was awarded partial workers’ compensation benefits. The SJC upheld the award Thursday, saying Bisazza showed that the main cause of his emotional trauma was connected to his work. |
