PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A Roman Catholic church official has left state prison after 18 months because he won an appeal of his landmark conviction in the priest-abuse scandal.
A state prison spokeswoman, Terri Fazio, says Monsignor William Lynn was released Thursday from the prison in Waymart in northeastern Pennsylvania.
The Philadelphia Sheriff’s Office is taking Lynn to a Philadelphia jail to be fitted with an electronic monitoring device. After that, he’ll be released.
