Documents show the priest had admitted to the Philadelphia archdiocese in 1992 that he had sex with the high school student for several years. An archdiocesan treatment center concluded the priest was not a pedophile, but was affected by his "traumatic sexual development." He remained in ministry for another decade.
It's not clear if the trauma reference was to the alleged seminary assault. The priest told a therapist he had been tied down by several seminarians who tried to rape him and that a friend came to his rescue. But the same friend later twice abused him, the priest told the therapist, according to documents read in court.
Defrocked priest Edward Avery pleaded guilty days before trial to sexually assaulting the northeast Philadelphia altar boy in 1999. He is now in prison, serving 2 1/2 to five years for sexual assault and conspiracy. Wow. He is Serving Time. That in itself is amazing. Rarely do they go to jail. They are many times sent to St John Vianney in St. Louis over and over. They are moved around all over the country but Rarely Serve Time. Thanks so much fro the info!

I think we would need another sub just for Priests
they just would send them to other places
odd and very satisfying he spent some time even if it is short
