Plea Deal for N.Y. Cop Accused of Abusing Young Boys

William Fox, a retired New York City police officer accused of sexually molesting three young boys, could spend the rest of his life in jail following a plea deal that resulted from an investigation launched with the help of Frank Spinelli, a gay Manhattan doctor.

The Staten Island Advance reports on the plea from Fox, a former Staten Island resident now living in Pennsylvania, where his trial began this week on sex charges involving the three youths from 1996 to 2009. The boys, now grown men, are among at least 10 children that Fox adopted in New York, Pennsylvania, and Florida over the past few decades.

The Staten Island Advocate reports that on Tuesday, the second day of his trial in Tioga County Court, “Fox, 66, pleaded ‘no contest’ to nine charges, including incest, corruption of minors, involuntary deviate sexual intercourse and indecent assault relating to three victims who lived with him, according to the Pennsylvania attorney general's office.”

Fox could receive up to 69 years in prison and a fine as high as $125,000 when he is sentenced in the fall. Authorities will first evaluate him to assess whether he is a sexually violent predator.

I have spent my whole life fighting this shit about our community, it makes me ill. Yes I know this happens in all sexual spectums but I'll bet my last dollar because it's in our community it will be magnified ten times over. Prison for the rest of his life isn't good enough.

1. The only good thing about this mess -
The Doctor who turned Fox in and helped catch him was also gay.

3. "He (Fox) was named a National Father of the Year in 1982 and

wrote a book about the experience."

That's horrifying.

Also, the doctor, who turned him in, was a victim of his! What a disgusting monster! I'm so sorry that happened to him.

Frank Spinelli is a hero in so many ways. I hope he finds peace now that this despicable excuse of a human being is being held to account for what he's done.

Ugh what is wrong with people? I don't understand.

5. Don't know for certain that he is gay

"I have spent my whole life fighting this shit about our community."


We do know he is a pedophile. Based on the newspaper article, we cannot conclude he is gay.

12. No need to apologize
I did not hear you saying anything that offended me. Nothing I found disrespectful in any way.

6. I don't read this as a retired cop being gay from having molested boys.
In fact, studies demonstrate that most pedophiles consider themselves heterosexual, in the same proportion as the majority adult non-pedophile part of society, regardless of the gender of their victims.

7. I could well be wrong
I just equate same sex (man/boy) as being homosexual, that is totally wrong on my part & for that I apologize.

I guess you can teach an old dog a new thing or two.

If I have offended any one in any way, I truly am sorry.

9. You can never get too angry about pedophilia, so please
don't apologize for that. You're on our side, so I would never suspect you were being prejudicial or deliberately smearing the GLBT community here.

10. Exactly
Boys might have been victims of convenience (Boy Scouts);he might well abuse girls if, God forbid, he had the opportunity.

So, what in your opinion would be good enough?
