PHILADELPHIA — A Philadelphia trial witness has described feeling “helpless and trapped” as a 13-year-old because a priest was fondling her at the rectory where she worked.
The woman says she was later told he was fondling her younger sisters. She earned $5 on weekends to cook for priests in about 1970.
She says she remains deeply wounded.
The woman is testifying on the fourth day of the child-endangerment trial of Monsignor William Lynn, the longtime secretary for clergy in Philadelphia.
