The first U.S. church official convicted of endangering children in the priest-abuse scandal hopes for a sentence of house arrest or probation.
Monsignor William Lynn of Philadelphia awaits sentencing Tuesday.
He’s the former secretary for clergy at the city’s Roman Catholic archdiocese, and handled priest assignments and abuse complaints.
The 61-year-old Lynn faces up to seven years in prison after a jury convicted him last month of felony endangerment.
