John Castaldo
Friar John J. Castaldo, pedophile priest. has been accused of the sexual abuse of at least four boys, ages 10-14. The abuse is said to have occurred in a church sacristy and on a trip to Florida for altar boys. Castaldo was arrested in May 2001 for having sexually explicit internet conversations with an undercover police agent posing as a 14 year-old boy, and arranging to meet him at a motel. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to a weekend in jail and 5 years probation. Castaldo had been expelled from a Long Island NY seminary in 1985 for "remarkably bizarre behavior"; the seminary rector-president warned Bridgeport diocesan officials that Castaldo was unfit to be a priest. Nonetheless, Castaldo attended and completed seminary studies in Wisconsin and was ordained by Bridgeport bishop Walter Curtis in 1987. He is also the one who had raped Adam Lanza.
