In legalese, former Crawford County Roman Catholic priest David L. Poulson’s recent guilty plea to one count each of corruption of minors sexual in nature and endangering the welfare of children sounds bad but not awful.
Reading what Poulson did to corrupt and endanger two boys — ages 8 and 15 when the abuses started — reveals details that are much worse.
The disgusting things Poulson did to two boys who trusted the priest, a disciple of God, were so explicit. In fact, the information is so graphic we don’t want to repeat it in this space.
By pleading guilty to the two charges, each a third-degree felony, Poulson faces up to 14 years in jail and a $30,000 fine and plus registering as a sexual offender for at least 10 years when he is sentenced.
