Remaining Charges

He’s expected to go to trial on the remaining two charges in August.

He already has been convicted in 1990 of sexually abusing a young girl at the Sacred Heart Parish in Gardner.

He served five years in state prison for the conviction.

Kelley has pleaded not guilty to all charges and is free on $10,000 cash bail.

One of his bail conditions is that he has no unsupervised contact with children.

His attorney, Anthony Salerno of Worcester, said Kelley has “been flawless in meeting those conditions.”

Kelley attended the hearing Monday but didn’t say anything.

Gary C. January 2022 I was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer in 2017. Which was caused by breathing in the toxic air from the WTC attack. I reached out to Parker Waichman for guidance in dealing with Victims Compensation Fund. My paralegal is Ms. Nicole Copertino.. There isn't enough words to describe her knowledge, professionalism and all the help she has provided during these stressful times.
