A Roman Catholic church official who won an appeal of his landmark conviction in the priest-abuse scandal left a Philadelphia jail after a one-night stay.
On Thursday, Monsignor William Lynn left another state prison after serving 18 months behind bars.
Lynn left the prison in Waymart in northeastern Pennsylvania around 10 a.m. Thursday, prison spokeswoman Terri Fazio said, and was taken by the Philadelphia Sheriff’s Office to Curran-Fromhold Correctional Facility in Philadelphia where he spent the night.
On Friday morning Lynn was released to an undisclosed location in the city after being fitted with an electronic monitoring device.
