A Philadelphia priest suspended last year has been charged with sexually assaulting a 10-year-old boy.
Prosecutors accuse the Rev. Andrew McCormick molested the boy in 1997 while assigned to a Northeast Philadelphia parish.
McCormick is one of about two dozen priests suspended last year after a grand jury report that found priests accused of abuse were still in ministry.
The 56-year-old McCormick is in custody after surrendering Thursday. It’s not clear if he has a lawyer. Bail has been set at $150,000.
McCormick has been on leave from Sacred Heart in Swedesburg, Montgomery County, since March 2011.
