The lone priest to plead guilty in the decade-long investigation of sexual abuse within the Philadelphia archdiocese is expected to testify Thursday for the prosecution.
Now-defrocked priest Edward Avery is serving 2-1/2 to five years in prison for sexually assaulting a 10-year-old altar boy in 1999. He also admits conspiring with Roman Catholic church officials, one of whom was convicted of child endangerment last year.
Avery did not testify at that trial.
