PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) — After two hung juries, the sex abuse case against a Philadelphia priest has been dropped.
The district attorney’s office confirmed to Action News they will not retry Rev. Andrew McCormick for a third time.
The Roman Catholic priest was accused of sexually assaulting a 10-year-old altar boy at Bridesburg’s St. John Cantius back in 1997.
Though McCormick no longer faces the threat of prison, it’s unlikely he will return to a parish.
