MANCHESTER, N.H. —A former Episcopal priest will not have to serve any jail time after he admitted he sexually abused a boy decades ago.
Franklin Huntress listened in court Monday as his victim talked about the struggles he has endured and his battle to erase those memories from his life.
Huntress did not apologize for what happened 30 years ago, but his victim and the victim’s mother talked about the damage his actions have caused.
“As a direct result of the defendant’s actions, I have struggled with alcohol abuse, drug abuse, self-harm, relationship issues, sexual issues, flashbacks and suicidal considerations,” said the victim, who is not being identified by News 9.
