Ex-priest Mark Broussard has been sentenced to spend the rest of his life in prison
In the words of Judge David Ritchie, Broussard’s punishment comes 30 years late.
The ex-priest convicted of raping and molesting young altar boys is sentenced to two consecutive life sentences on two counts of aggravated rape with 50 years added on for other sexual abuse charges.
First Assistant D.A. Cynthia Killingsworth said part of what made the case so heinous was the level of trust that was betrayed.
“People would just let their kids go over there and let them stay there and certainly had no problem with it; in fact, the moms, whoever were the single moms in this case, were very glad he was mentoring their children,” said Killingsworth.
