I'm surprised NYMafia hasn't posted about this yet.

Louis Gigante was the first person to claim the Colombo hit was orchestrated by the FBI. Colombo's assassin Jerome Johnson, was a cameraman for gay porn films produced by Gambino associate Mike Umbars and Ed"The Skull" Murphy.who were with Mickey Zaffarano.
Mafia priest, an oxymoron if I ever heard one, wasn't he the inspiration for Fr. Guido Sarducci?

They were from Naples? If so, they had an experience with Aliester Crowley there, that’s the same Dark Magik that he brought to Hollywood, that’s at least one of the unforgettable experiences in Southern Italians history.

Like Epstein or Weinstein

I know some will rejoice over the charge, and if he is guilty I want him punished---but is he guilty? We just got the news on here now, I heard it last night on the news. The person pressing the charges says it happened in 1975, and "The entire parish and neighborhood knew about it. That last part is hard to believe. I'm not defending him if he did it, but I see people saying The Boy Scouts, The Church, and many other traditional organizations had supervisor molesting them 30, 40, even 50 years ago--as they sue for money. I think many are guilty, but I have always thought a lot of them are getting in on these lawsuits to make money or for political reasons (Tearing down traditional organizations)

I was not even born anywhere near the 1970's, but does anyone here who was around then in New York, especially the Bronx, think an area like the one he was in would let him abuse a little kid or others while knowing about it?

The way I understand it, Father Gigante was one of 177 such priests who were named on documents alleging pedophilia and other degenerate acts toward children, etc. These allegations dated back decades to the 60s, 70s era. Of course because the name Gigante gets headlines he was prominently put on the front-pages of the newspapers. If you notice none of the other 176 priests were named but him.

But regardless of all that, if he is guilty of this, then they should cut his balls off and stick em up his ass! I don't give a damn who he is!

Everyone is deserving of his day in court. And the tremendous time elapsed, and the particulars of the allegations have yet to prove if in fact there is any thread of truth to it.

It could very well be that his accuser, and that of many others (as has been sometimes proven in the past), lie and try to ride the gravytrain to wealth by going after an institution as wealthy as the RC Church. That could be.

It could also be that these allegations have validity to them. So we gotta see what the outcome is.

But as I stated earlier up top. If in fact Gigante is guilty, then I have absolutely no pity on him and he should rot. As should any person who preys on children and other defenseless individuals.

All too often people in high places get indemnified from penalties because of their lofty standing in the community; politicians, cops, FBI agents, teachers, corporate bigwigs, prosecutors, priests, rabbis, other clergy, etc.

I'm a firm believer that anyone who preys on kids should be totally condemned across the board.

This was in the Daily Mail from the lawsuit:


"It also states the risk of sexual abuse towards the victim was 'open and obvious and known by many students, children, clergy and administration' and continues to accuse the defendants of failing to take any action to stop the abuse."

Jesus Christ, you don’t give a flying shit about the victims, the first thing you do is a knee jerk reaction to defend pedophiles...and now your posting shit that seems to say because it was out and the open and obvious it justifies it.....there’s no slander here. You just post nothing but continued support for pedophiles and human traffickers....

This is a disgusting witch hunt and anyone who doesn't see it is blind!! Father Louis would give you the shirt off his back. He'd take all his clothes off for you. I wish people would stop paying attention to the fake news media and started paying attention to what people have actually done. Any man can write anything, but you can't deny facts.

Why are we trying to make this a Mafia thing? Even if a Mafioso rapes women or touches kids in his free time, those are not Mafia crimes. That's just a sick fuck who does sick things on his own time. I had a sergeant in my unit of the Texas Army National Guard who's serving 40 years for watching child porn. He was the last person anyone would ever suspect, he had life by the balls! A badass aviation mechanic job, nice house, nice vehicles, and a beautiful fiance. This is why I don't believe in stereotypes or profiling people. Does this make everyone in the Army or my unit pedophiles? Of course not! And don't even get me started on the pedophilia the government is involved in, Epstein Island is just the tip of one iceberg.

Did I accidentally wander into the priests fuck kids forum? Why is this even a thread? Did father whoever get his button last year?
I’ll piss in the holy water for shits and giggles, such is my contempt for religion, but even with that I can see it as a thinly veiled snipe at other posters
This place is a great place to read when people share information. When it’s a troll fest it’s a boring as it is predictable. Grow up both sides

Exactly. I don't think anyone here on the forum condones abusing children or women. But regardless of the allegations against anybody, regardless of their prominence or position in life, the truth is the truth. And if it later comes out that there is validity to the charges (about him or anyone else), then prosecute them.

But to convict a person in the media simply because there is an allegation made is extremely unfair and unjust.

And truth be told, Rev. Louis Gigante has done more for the South Bronx to resurrect it from the rumbles of a ghetto than any other single person I can think of. Politicians included!
So let's not be so fast to condemn him. He's got a record of benevolence and 'good doing' for over 5 decades thats second to none! THAT alone should stand for something.

Jace, I think he's probably innocent, but it has to be investigated. That being said, there were priests, in the Bronx and elsewhere, who abused kids, and no one could believe or wanted to believe what was going on. I was born in the late 60s, and I remember when sexual abuse by priests first was in the news in the 80s. None of us could believe it, at first.

Thanks for the answer Fleming. Were you in or near his district?

I did nothing like that at all. "Coninued support for pedophiles and human traffickers.." Where do you get the nerve to make this stuff about me openly? Everyone can see what I posted.

I agree with those saying this is not a Mafia topic, it should be in another section.

No, I was across the river in New Jersey. But I was alive in those times, and I remember when the stories in the national news about the priest in New Orleans or somewhere was on trial for harming kids, it seemed so preposterous that a priest would do that, we thought it had to be made up. That was the mindset back then, none of us Catholics could believe a priest could/would do that.

The other obvious but strange coincidence is that Anthony Comello accused Frank Cali of being the leader of the World Pedo Ring, maybe he meant the Catholic Church?

Number 3 is all about Sicily and the Church, imagine they added that shit into the script more overtly than they did, with the dude making the donkey noise prior to whacking Mary Corleone.

Some real grease ball shit lol!

Again, I don't know if the accusations are true or not. I am sure it was no secret who Louis Gigante's brother was. Probably not a coincidence the accuser waited until long after Chin Gigante passed away.

There's nothing worse then a child molester...

That said, how can anybody act when it hasn't been reported for almost half a century ??

And nowhere did I read that he went to the police to fill out a report..He's only looking for money, not justice...That's always a big red flag

Hope its not true

IF it happened the victim was probably to scared to report it. He was an elementary school kid, how hard could it be for an authority figure like a priest to intimidate him into silence? Gigante was a powerful man to say the least. He had the authority of the priesthood, was an elected official in the city government, and had blood relatives in the mob. That's some real power. That's kind of what I was getting at when I said the victim didn't come forward when Chin was alive. I meant he must have been afraid, I apologize if I seemed like I was blaming him. (Of course I know, innocent until proven guilty)

No, that's totally understandable pal...

Not only to fear mob retaliation, but in the 70's, it was a different world..The parents might not have ever believed a priest would do something like that...

Could very well be true..Chin had another gay brother in the family..

I just caution that when someone doesn't make a police report and just asks to be compensated financially, its raises red flags

I understand. I just hope the truth comes out.

Not too bash the dead or protect a predator, but did the Chin Gigante not give the same treatment Vito Spatafore got in the Sopranos with the pool cue to someone, as well ?

That's not funny bro !!

. Absolutely. I’ve always believed in due process even if I don’t particularly like the accused. You’re right it does raise red flags when there isn’t a police report filed or they want some type of money settlement. Doesn’t mean it didn’t happened but we have seen that a lot the last few years

Not a joke, it was a serious question. The Chin from how I took it was similar to Phil Leotardo in the scenario, so if he was pissed about a guy being gay or whatever. I’d assume he would be crazy for blood if it were some pedo.

But if it’s his brother and it’s true, who really knows how one would react in the situation.

Sorry if it came off as a joke, I’ve either read that or observed it in a documentary, was looking for confirmation, not to slander.

Would criminal charges be possible this long after the incident? I don't know how the statute of limitations works in New York state.

Way past any penal statue of limitations

I think they threw out the statute of limitations on any sex charge about a year ago. It opened up Bill Cosby for prosecution in California. There are close to 200 priests being accused, yet no one ever filed criminal complaint.

I think murder and molesting kids have no limitations
