PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A troubled young man who says he was raped by two Roman Catholic priests and his sixth-grade teacher could testify Tuesday in a Philadelphia criminal trial.
The policeman’s son’s complaint led to the 2012 landmark conviction of a church official over his handling of abuse complaints at the Philadelphia archdiocese.
The Rev. Charles Engelhardt and ex-teacher Bernard Shero are on trial for alleged sexual assault. The other priest is in prison after pleading guilty.
The accuser’s mother, the first trial witness Monday, says her son was a good student until he was expelled in 9th grade.
