WHEELING — Circuit Judge Ronald Wilson has ruled that Monsignor Kevin Quirk must testify as a material witness in a clergy sex abuse trial taking place in Philadelphia.

Wilson issued the order late Thursday. Wheeling attorney William Kolibash, who is representing Quirk, confirmed that his client will now testify in the case of the Rev. James Brennan, who’s on trial in Philadelphia for an alleged 1996 child-sex assault. Brennan has denied those charges.

Kolibash says Quirk will testify between April 29 and May 1.
