| Father Foley Cape Cod abuse case settled For $550,000
The Archdiocese of Hartford agreed this week to pay $550,000 to a man who accused the Rev. Stephen Foley of using his position as Hartford County fire chaplain to sodomize him when he was a 14-year-old parishioner in Windsor Locks. Foley, who has been accused of abuse by at least 11 men since 1993 and was removed from public ministry in 2002, is still affiliated with the county fire organization he belonged to when the alleged assault occurred. He now holds the title of "chaplain emeritus" of the group, according to board members... The current president of the group is Windsor Locks Fire Chief Gary Ruggiero. Haber said Ruggiero sent an e-mail to the board of directors Friday criticizing the newspaper for publishing a story last Sunday that exposed Foley's continued use of a police-equipped Crown Victoria with flashing lights, sirens and scanners... abuse took place on a weekend when the boy and his friend accompanied Foley to a home on Cape Cod, which Foley said was owned by his aunt, the brief said.

The next thing they know, the 16 year old they're looking for is arrested in Nashville, Tennessee at around 7:30 p.m. our time. The TSA says he was arrested for a probation violation. The FBI says he plotted to hijack an airplane. Agents found the teen with rope, duct tape, and handcuffs. He never tried anything on the plane. They say he is suicidal. The TSA says nothing found with the teenager is prohibited, not even the handcuffs. On its website the agency says this is a lesson to watch for suspicious behavior as much as for items. The U.S. Attorney's office in Nashville says it is reviewing the case to see if federal charges are appropriate.
