A Philadelphia priest, previously accused of sexually abusing 20 boys, was arraigned today on charges that he sexually assaulted an altar boy over a three-year period.

A judge set Rev. Robert L. Brennan’s bail on rape, involuntary deviant sexual intercourse and aggravated sexual assault charges at 10 percent of $1 million.

Philadelphia District Attorney Seth Williams announced Brennan’s arrest Thursday morning of Rev. Robert L. Brennan.

“A serial predator is now behind bars thanks to brave actions of this young man,” Williams said.

Brennan was arrested Wednesday afternoon in Perryville, Md. and was returned to Philadelphia on Thursday evening after waiving extradition.
