PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — The prosecution wrapped up its case today in the trial of two men — a priest and a lay teacher — charged with sexually abusing a Philadelphia schoolboy more than a decade ago.
Father Charles Engelhardt and former lay teacher Bernard Shero have pleaded not guilty to charges they sexually assaualted the same boy in 1999 and 2000 (see related stories).
Today, the prosecution closed its case with the testimony of a pediatrician who testified to various maladies suffered by the alleged victim at about the time of the alleged assaults.
The alleged victim testified earlier that he suffered testicular pain, nausea, coughing, and other similar ailments.
