PHILADELPHIA - Jurors in the Philadelphia priest sex abuse trial heard startling testimony Monday about a priest who allegedly bragged about having sex with boys.

A detective took the stand and read a memo about a priest who quote "joked about how difficult it was to have sex with three boys in one week."

Monsignor William Lynn is on trial for child endangerment and conspiracy. He is the first Roman Catholic church official in the U.S. charged for his handling of priest-abuse complaints.

Testimony earlier in the day included a 1992 complaint about a priest who allegedly molested boys at a church-owned camp in the early 1960s.

Prosecutors say he helped the church bury them in secret files.

Another priest is on trial for trying to rape a 14-year-old boy.
