A Roman Catholic priest accused of traveling to Honduras to molest
poor street children during missionary trips was convicted on Tuesday of
several charges. Federal jurors convicted the Rev. Joseph
Maurizio Jr. of charges including three of four counts related to sex
abuse of boys during trips to a Honduran orphanage.
Maurizio was accused of traveling abroad from 2004 to 2009 to have sex with three young boys, a charge known as sexual tourism. He also was convicted of possession of child pornography and illegally transferring money to a charity to help fund the trips. Jurors acquitted him of another count of traveling outside the United States for sex with a minor and two other counts involving the transfer of funds.
