Monsignor William Lynn could be released from prison later this week,
after the PA Supreme Court upheld a lower court’s ruling to reverse his
2012 conviction on child endangerment charges.
The state Supreme Court rejected an appeal from Philadelphia DA Seth Williams’ office to overturn a December 2015 Superior Court ruling ordering a new trial for Lynn, the first Catholic Church official to be convicted for supervising and relocating priests accused of child sexual abuse, Joseph A. Slobodzian of the Inquirer reports.
