Interestingly enough, according to Google, Peter Palmeri achieved a plea bargain of two counts of “aggravated indecent liberties with a child,” whatever that may be. Most charges appear to have been dropped shortly after his arrest due to the statute of limitations having expired. He was supposed to be sentenced 4th February of this year, but I can’t find any article reporting on if this happened, or the extent of his punishment. So we may never know from court just what he did, or if he was guilty.
My sister asked a couple of her friends, ladies in the Sanford, FL parish what they thought of Fr. Duverger and all this. Both mothers of kids. Both essentially said “If Fr. Vernoy trusts him to run the school, that’s good enough for me.” One of them who has family in St. Mary’s, volunteered that Jassy Jacas was, in her words, “a troublemaker.” So, without wanting to blame the victim, it’s just possible that there are ulterior motives or an axe to grind. Something we should bear in mind.
