The Region - News from Sept. 25, 1987

A Willowbrook newspaper distributor pleaded guilty to one count of sodomy and 11 counts of child molestation as he awaited a preliminary hearing on charges of molesting young boys he employed. Joseph Taylor, 36, who had been charged with 17 sodomy counts and 25 counts of child molestation, is to return to court next Thursday for sentencing. Deputy Dist. Atty. Sandra Buttitta said she is certain that he will be sentenced to 33 years in prison, including eight years for parole violation involving a 1982 molestation conviction in which the prison sentence was suspended. Taylor and the eight victims, now between 9 and 17 years old, worked for an independent contractor delivering The Times.
