Three friars of the Third Order Regular Franciscans were criminally
charged Monday in Pennsylvania with conspiracy and endangering children
for their alleged role in enabling a brother in their order believed to
have sexually abused upwards of 100 minors, primarily at a Catholic high
school.
The charges were announced Tuesday by Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen Kane, who acted on recommendations brought by the same statewide grand jury investigation that had also revealed widespread abuse and misconduct by priests and church officials in the Altoona-Johnstown, Pa., diocese.
