SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Prosecutors say they won’t be filing perjury charges against a retired priest who testified in the trial of a Northern California man charged with assaulting him.
The decision not to prosecute Jerold Lindner comes even though prosecutors say they believe Lindner lied under oath when he denied molesting boys in the July trial of William Lynch.
Lindner was testifying in the case against Lynch, who was accused of beating the priest for allegedly molesting him during a 1975 camping trip. Lynch was acquitted in the case.
