Author: Pam Cunningham, Reporter
READING, Pa. –
A former Berks County priest is being charged for child sexual abuse. Police officers in Maryland said they have brought charges for an incident that happened more than 30 years ago. Unlike Pennsylvania, Maryland has no statute of limitations in sexual abuse crimes. That’s something a new state lawmaker wants to change.
Ocean City, Maryland police said at this point Bruno Tucci is facing charges related to one incident of child sexual abuse at a Ocean City motel. But they said if anyone else here believes they are also a victim and it happened in their area, they’ll investigate it. …
Newly-sworn-in Pennsylvania Representative for Berks County Mark Rozzi wants to change our laws.
“Then it turns to the victim. And I couldn’t be more proud of him and how courageous he is to come out cause it is not easy,” said Rozzi.
Rozzi said he was also a child sexual abuse victim at the hands of another priest in 1983 in Muhlenberg Township when he was 13 years old.
