BLOUNTVILLE, Tenn. — A former Chattanooga and Kingsport, Tenn., priest was sentenced today to serve 35 to 40 years in prison on his convictions for two counts of aggravated rape and one count of first-degree sexual misconduct.
William “Bill” Casey, 77, of 740 Shakerag Road in Greeneville, Tenn., was sentenced in Sullivan County Criminal Court to 15 to 20 years on the first-degree criminal sexual conduct charge and two concurrent 20-year terms on the aggravated rape convictions.
He had been incarcerated pending sentencing since his conviction in July after the judge declined to grant him a bond. His charges alleged he began to sexually abuse a young altar boy shortly after becoming priest of St. Dominic’s Catholic Church in Kingsport in the 1970s.
Casey was an associate pastor at Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic Church in Chattanooga from 1969 to 1972.

Adios, MF.
Even here in Chattanooga, apparently, we are afraid to call these cases (over and over and over...) what they actually are....Deviant HOMOSEXUAL Behavior, or Predatory HOMOSEXUAL Behavior, or Inappropriate HOMOSEXUAL Behavior, or.....
Seems to be a recurring theme to this sickness! Time we wake up, and deal with the reality of the issue!
I would argue "deviant" behavior,rather than "homosexual"behavior. jes sayin'?
...like I said, need to WAKE UP!
Heterosexuals can fall into that category too. It's not a homosexual issue. Just because someone is gay doesn't mean they're going to hurt or prey on children. That's a really old and bigoted notion.
