A Pennsylvania priest has pleaded not guilty to charges he possessed child pornography and traveled to Honduras for sex with poor street children during missionary trips.
The Rev. Joseph Maurizio entered the plea Tuesday before U.S. Magistrate Judge Keith Pesto in Johnstown.
The 69-year-old remains jailed, though Pesto gave lawyers 10 days to return with information about the priest’s finances, at which point Pesto says he may reconsider releasing the priest pending trial.
