	Former Priest Gets Bail Reduction The Times-Tribune November 9, 2006 http://www.thetimes-tribune.com/site/news.cfm?newsid=17443002&BRD=2185&PAG=461&dept_id=416046&rfi=6 Scranton — A preliminary hearing for jailed former priest Albert Liberatore Jr. on a Megan's Law violation was postponed Wednesday in Central Court because of the unavailability of a prosecution witness. Magisterial District Judge Laura Turlip Murphy reduced Mr. Liberatore's bail from $25,000 to $10,000, but it won't mean his freedom. He remains in the Luzerne County Correctional Facility on a probation detainer. Mr. Liberatore, who pleaded guilty in 2005 to crimes related to the sexual abuse of minors, was charged by Lackawanna County detectives Nov. 3 for failing to register a change of address as a sex offender. Detectives alleged he had been living in Scranton despite being registered at an address in the Stroudsburg area.
