Pedophile: Logically Impossible I Repeatedly Molested The Orange County Boy

Santa Ana motel manager John William Clancy, a pedophile, wants out of prison because, he insists, his sex crimes convictions don't make sense.

Housed now in the soothing California confines of Mule Creek State Prison in Ione--a place once known as "Bed-Bug," Clancy has sought confirmation of his beliefs from a judge, jury and appellate justices.

This month, U.S. District Court Judge Margaret M. Morrow became the latest person to reject the 65-year-old's claim.

According to prosecutors in the Orange County District Attorney's office, Clancy repeatedly molested a teenage boy who eventually turned to illegal narcotics for escapism and told his father of the abuse.

But Clancy, who says that the boy's stories were fabricated, argues that the blatant proof he is innocent is found in the fact that he drove the kid to several therapy sessions with a licensed professional. Psychologists are mandated to report allegations of sexual abuse to authorities. Clancy says adults, such as himself, know this mandatory requirement and if he had actually molested the kid he would have been nuts to take him to therapy sessions where his crimes could be exposed.

Perhaps because prosecutors and cops found a second molested boy nobody's buying his logic.

Upshot: Clancy--whose MO consisted of befriending parents and then showering kids with food, video games, marijuana and pornographic movies--will continue to serve his stiff sentence of 100 years to life in the slammer.

100 years to life? What is a criminal's motivation to leave the victim alive? At what point does this become counterproductive?

Whatever this man did, it is very strange that the length of his sentence differs so much from other pedophiles in the rich and famous Orange County, California, who often serve 365 days in jail (Catholic priest Denis Lyons), etc. Does anyone know if John William Clancy is actually serving “life” and/or 50 years in prison? Based on California’s prison inmate locator, John William Clancy entered the Mule Creek prison facility on February 15, 2006. However, according to California Supreme Court Case No. S164139, People v. Clancy, referencing his petition for review that was denied on or about July 30, 2008, John William Clancy’s address as: 8005 N. Polk, Portland, Oregon 92703—certainly not the California Mule Creek or any other California prison facility. Oddly, Clancy’s habeas corpus appellate case G042544 was completed on 10/1/09, the record shipped to records on 4/14/10. Then, SOMEONE RETRIEVED the records on 5/24/10, and returned the records shortly thereafter on 6/7/10. Cannot help but wonder what the retrieved records and/or information were used for.... hopefully, there is no public corruption or cover up involved. Yes, Clancy was convicted of serious crimes... but that does not allow intentional crimes using a U.S. court of law.
