PHILADELPHIA — A judge has issued a gag order in the latest priest-abuse case going to trial in Philadelphia.
A former altar boy accuses the Rev. Andrew McCormick of sexually assaulting him at a northeast Philadelphia rectory in 1997.
The 57-year-old McCormick is fighting the charges. The trial is expected to take about three days, after jury selection this week.
The accuser says he contacted police in 2012 after seeing news accounts of the Penn State and Philadelphia archdiocese sex-abuse trials.
McCormick is one of about 25 priests suspended in 2011 after a grand jury report found many accused priests still in ministry.
