They say the darkest part of that history involves a political system -- politicians, lawyers, judges -- that, in their view, protected a predator at the expense of the boys and girls of Buffalo. “The system failed every single boy whether they were from Lovejoy or not,” Hastreiter said.

    Buffalo Predator Protected: How sexual predators continue abusing vulnerable victims

    27 November 2019


    The case of an alleged pedophile who was protected by city officials in Buffalo, New York answers the question for many about how such abuse could continue for so long.

Gaeta was arrested and charged with a felony sex crime. But the Erie County district attorney, then Ed Cosgrove, and former Judge Anthony P. LoRusso agreed to drop the charges and seal his case ...
