Anthony Odiong, a Roman Catholic priest who served in Texas and Louisiana, was found guilty of sexual assault in Waco
Anthony Odiong was sentenced to life in prison for sex crimes against his congregants in Texas A Louisiana church where a Roman Catholic priest served as pastor before being recently convicted in Texas of criminal clergy sexual assault and sentenced to life in prison has been criticized by his victims and their supporters for soliciting prayers on his behalf in a parochial bulletin published after his guilty verdict โ which neglected to mention the survivors. One of the two women whom Anthony Odiong was convicted of assaulting in Waco, Texas โ identified in court proceedings as Mary Doe โ issued a statement on Tuesday encouraging St Anthony of Paduaโs community in the New Orleans suburb of Luling, Louisiana, to pray for his victims, too.

Anthony Odiong faced up to life in prison for exploiting his spiritual authority as a clergyman for sex with his congregants A Roman Catholic priest who was convicted recently of criminal clergy sexual assault in Texas has been sentenced to 99 years in prison. Anthony Odiong, 57, received the punishment from a jury at a state courthouse in Waco on Tuesday after some witnesses described his sexually inappropriate behavior going back more than a decade. Character witnesses on behalf of Odiong, meanwhile, advocated for him to get probation, saying he could follow such an arrangementโs rules โ such as living near Waco and not committing additional crimes โ despite feloniously breaking his priestly vows of chastity.

Kings Place, London The US singer Thomas Hampson paired with accordionist Ksenija Sidorova to perform highlights from Schubertโs Winterreise alongside Weill and Piazzolla. Alas much of this disappointing evening felt like a vanity project Schubertโs Winterreise โ the composerโs great psychodrama in song โ ends devastatingly. Der Leiermann conjures a chilling vision of a hurdy-gurdy man. Alone beyond the village he plays his melancholy tune, luring the narrator to him โ perhaps also to his death? The haunting song, with its anchoring drone, begs for colours the piano can only suggest. Presumably that was the seed for this unusual collaboration between veteran US bass-baritone Thomas Hampson and Latvian accordionist Ksenija Sidorova. You can see the logic that swaps piano for accordion and frames the Schubert with songs by Kurt Weill and a tango by Piazzolla: this is street music with its face washed and hair brushed, invited into the salon, the cabaret, the opera house.

The Womenโs prize-shortlisted novelist on taking inspiration from John Steinbeck, Joan Didion and Jhumpa Lahiri, and weeping through Little Women in her 30s My earliest reading memory Iโm not sure what we were reading โ The Velveteen Rabbit by Margery Williams or the poems in Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein โ but I was undoubtedly with my sister, two years older, who set the example for me to be a reader. I picture us in the back of our family car or laying across our twin beds in the room we shared. My favourite book growing up I loved mysteries and fantasy worlds. I read so many of the Nancy Drew books, and The Boxcar Children by Gertrude Chandler Warner. And I loved the Narnia stories and The Wind in the Willows. I loved books about things that canโt exist. I suppose itโs all escapism โ crimes solved by children, talking animals, time travel, people two inches tall. I always loved to slip into another, better world. Continue reading...
