JOHNSTOWN, Pa. (AP) —Three ex-Franciscan leaders charged in a child sex-abuse scandal in Pennsylvania all still have pastoral duties with the Roman Catholic Church.
The three were accused Tuesday of taking part in a conspiracy that enabled a friar to molest more than 100 children.
Records show Giles Schinelli is pastoral administrator of the San Pedro Center in Winter Park, Florida. Robert D’Aversa is pastor of St. Patrick Catholic Community in Mount Dora, Florida. And Anthony Criscitelli is pastor of St. Bridget Parish Community in Minneapolis.
A message left for Schinelli at the retreat was not returned. People answering the phones at the churches where D’Aversa and Criscitelli work said they were either traveling or not available for comment.
The attorney general’s office initially said erroneously that the three were retired.
