PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Philadelphia prosecutors are wrapping up their case in the abuse trial of a priest and former teacher charged with abusing the same boy in about 1999.

The defense could begin to call witnesses Tuesday after testimony from the accuser’s childhood doctor.

The accuser says he complained of genital and stomach pain, but did not tell the doctor he had been molested.

Years later, he told a drug counselor he’d been sexually abused by two Roman Catholic priests and a teacher.
