PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A priest on trial in a landmark child sex abuse case is expected to face his accuser in a Philadelphia courtroom.
The Rev. James Brennan is charged with raping a 14-year-old boy in 1996. That accuser is expected to take the stand on Wednesday.
Brennan is on trial with Monsignor William Lynn, who is the first Roman Catholic official in the U.S. charged with endangering children for allegedly keeping predator priests in parish work. Both have pleaded not guilty.
