— Another sad and shocking news report about child sexual abuse made its way onto one of our front pages last weekend.
Like us, our readers, too, must be asking, what is going on? These senseless, sick criminal acts are happening all too frequently across our region.
And the case to which we now refer involves a longtime spiritual leader, a priest in the Altoona-Johnstown Roman Catholic Diocese.
The priest, the Rev. George Koharchik, 63, has been relieved by the diocese of his duties at a Huntingdon County parish. It has been alleged that he sexually molested “young boys” at a parish in Cambria County more than 30 years ago.
