Priest Abuse Charges

Priest Abuse Charges

District Attorney Seth Williams speaks at a news conference, Friday, July 27, 2012, in Philadelphia. Rev. Andrew McCormick has been charged with sexually assaulting a 10-year-old boy. Prosecutors accuse McCormick of molesting the boy in 1997 while assigned to a Northeast Philadelphia parish. McCormick is one of about two dozen priests suspended last year after a grand jury report that found priests accused of abuse were still in ministry. The 56-year-old McCormick is in custody after surrendering Thursday. It's not clear if he has a lawyer. Bail has been set at $150,000. (AP Photo/Brynn Anderson)
