ne day after a grand jury report accused the Altoona-Johnstown Roman
Catholic Diocese of hiding or ignoring decades of clergy sex abuse, a
judge sentenced one of those priests Wednesday to more than 16 years in
prison for sexually assaulting two boys during missionary trips to
Honduras.
U.S. District Judge Kim R. Gibson also ordered the Rev. Joseph Maurizio, 70, to pay a $50,000 fine and $10,000 in restitution to each child. Gibson did not mention the separate investigation or report by state prosecutors, but criticized Maurizio for preying upon vulnerable children and hiding behind his collar.
