The victim of an alleged priest sex abuse case has died, according to a new statement released by the District Attorney’s Office.
“It is with great sadness that I have to announce that the victim in the rape and assault case against Robert Brennan passed away unexpectedly,” stated District Attorney Seth Williams.
“The decades long demons and scars the victim in this case endured ended this weekend when he was found dead by Philadelphia Police Detectives. I can not say enough about the bravery this young man displayed in coming forward to bring these crimes to light. This young man’s courage should serve as an inspiration to us all.”
The Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office is currently reviewing the case, and will likely have a decision on the status of this prosecution sometime next week.
Brennan is accused of abusing more than twenty children.
