PHILADELPHIA (PA)

Philadelphia prosecutors have asked Pennsylvania’s Supreme Court to restore a Roman Catholic church official’s child endangerment conviction.
Monsignor William Lynn is currently on house arrest after an appeals court threw out his case earlier this month.
Lynn, the former secretary for clergy in Philadelphia, had been convicted of endangering children by transferring an abusive priest in the 1990s, reports the Associated Press.
According to court documents, prosecutors in the District Attorney’s office continue to allege Lynn engaged in a pattern of concealment and facilitation of child sexual molestation by priests.
