BARNSTABLE — Convicted pedophile William F. Mulcahy will remain in a treatment center indefinitely after a jury declared him a sexually dangerous person.

At 80, Mulcahy, a former Sandwich resident, is probably the oldest person to go to trial at Barnstable Superior Court on a sexual dangerousness commitment petition, Cape and Islands First Assistant District Attorney Brian Glenny said.
“I think it’s absolutely appropriate given the facts of the matter,” Glenny said.
Mulcahy was convicted in February 2004 for six counts of rape of a child. His victims included a girl and a boy.
He finished serving a prison sentence in November 2010 but has remained incarcerated while the DA’s office established the groundwork for the civil commitment proceeding.
With the jury’s decision Thursday, Mulcahy was committed to the Massachusetts Treatment Center for a period of one day to life, with periodic reviews.
The first review most likely won’t take place for 3½ years, Mulcahy’s attorney William Korman of Boston said.
The commitment “is exceptionally unusual” for a man Mulcahy’s age, Korman said. At age 80, Mulcahy’s likelihood of reoffending “is almost zero,” he said.
After hearing from expert witnesses, the jury decided otherwise, Glenny said.
“The bottom line is (Mulcahy) was accused and convicted of crimes at an older age,” he said.
Mulcahy, a former state department official, has admitted to a lengthy history of abuse. He was put on trial after a mother found him raping her 8-year-old daughter.
