UPDATE: Rev. Charles Engelhardt sentenced 6-12 years in prison; Bernard Shero sentenced 8-16 years in prison
Earlier Story:
Sentencing is scheduled for Wednesday for a priest and former Catholic schoolteacher in the sexual assault of a 10-year-old altar boy in the late 1990s.
In a case that has already put a Philadelphia Catholic Church official behind bars for covering up child sexual abuse, a jury in January convicted the Rev. Charles Engelhardt and Bernard Shero for the serial sexual assault of a St. Jerome’s pupil in 1998 and 1999.
Prosecutors say Shero faces up to 57 years in prison and Engelhardt up to 37 years at their sentencing.
