Gov. Charlie Baker made a surprise move Wednesday by withdrawing his recommendation for two pardons in a controversial child sex abuse case that's been debated for decades.Tuesday on Baker's recommendation to pardon Gerald Amirault and his sister Cheryl Amirault LeFave. The siblings were convicted of sexually abusing children at the child care center their family ran in Malden in the 1980s.
"I'm speechless," said Brenda Hurley-McCarthy who was among those who testified during Tuesday's Governor's Council hearing. Hurley-McCarthy said her daughter, who is now 42, has never recovered from being abused by the Amiraults at Fells Acre. She said a pardon would have sent a message that young abuse accusers should not be believed.
"I do thank them for doing the right thing," Bennett said of the governor's decision to withdraw the pardon request."I do have to say I'm still very upset that it was handled wrong in the beginning, but they did do the right thing this time.
