A Franciscan priest from New York has pleaded guilty to charges of raping three teenage boys during overnight trips to Boston in the 1970s and 1980s.
A Suffolk Superior Court judge on Tuesday sentenced Rev. Frank Genevieve to an 8- to 10-year suspended sentence, with 5 years’ probation.
Prosecutors said one victim was attacked in the rectory of a church, and another was attacked in Genevieve’s car after a visit to the New England Aquarium.
The 52-year-old priest was a former Franciscan brother at a parish in Troy, N.Y.
As part of his sentence, Genevieve was ordered to have no contact with the victims or any children under 16. He must also register as a sex offender and wear a GPS monitoring device.
