Bridgewater, MA - A former maintenance man at St. Thomas Aquinas parish in Bridgewater was convicted Tuesday of

Reed F. Haviland, 53, was convicted in Brockton Superior Court of one count of an unnatural act.

Judge Patrick Brady sentenced Haviland to 2-1-2 years in the House of Correction with one year to serve. Haviland was also ordered to stay way from the victim.

Plymouth County District Attorney Timothy J. Cruz said the guilty verdict followed a four-day trial.

The conviction stemmed from allegations that the defendant was inserting needles or large knitting needles into his body in the presence of a 14-year-old boy, Cruz said.

The incidents occurred in the parish center back room.

At the time of the arrest, Haviland was the first person in Plymouth County affiliated with the church to be charged with a love crime since the archdiocese became embroiled in its priest abuse scandal.

Haviland was originally arrested in 2002 on 20 counts of improper loveual contact with a child under 16 with the same child.

Haviland was a custodian at the Catholic church for 30 years. After his arrest, he was placed on administrative leave from the church and ordered to stay away.

Prosecutors alleged that Haviland performed loveual acts on himself while the boy watched on several occasions. Those acts involved various objects.
