Michael Zacharias’s victims said the priest waited until they began abusing drugs before he sexually trafficked them
A Roman Catholic priest received a life sentence on Friday for his convictions on five counts related to sex-trafficking charges in the molestation of three boys whom prosecutors say he met at an Ohio preschool and coerced to continue sexual activity as adults.
Michael Zacharias, 56, received concurrent, maximum life sentences for counts of sex trafficking a minor and sex trafficking of a minor by force, fraud or coercion. He received concurrent 20-year sentences for two counts of sex trafficking of an adult by force, fraud or coercion, and one of similarly trafficking a minor.
I got as far as “met in preschool” in the headline and my brain stuttered to a halt and filled with obscenities.
I hope that dude rots. May he never know a moment of peace in person and spend every moment looking over his shoulder in fear someone’s finally coming to beat him into pulp.
If it’s any consolation, they weren’t preschoolers. It was a click bait headline and the kids were around 18 when this happened. Not saying it’s not still heinous, but at least it’s not drug-addicted toddlers.
