A Somerset County priest was found guilty
Tuesday of having sex with three boys at a Honduran orphanage that he
supported through his nonprofit foundation, transferring money outside
the United States to fund his illicit activities and having pornographic
photos of children.
The Rev. Joseph D. Maurizio Jr., 70, showed no reaction when the verdict was read in a federal courtroom in Johnstown. Maurizio's two sisters and two nieces, who
attended every day of the trial, sat in the courtroom with parishioners
of his former parish, Our Lady Queen of Angels Church in Central City.
