Judge Throws Out Conviction of Retired Priest in Abuse Case

PITTSBURGH (AP) — A judge in Allegheny County has thrown out the conviction of a retired Roman Catholic priest accused of having assaulted a boy almost two decades ago.

A spokesman for the county district attorney’s office vowed an appeal, saying officials believed the decision was “contrary to the law.” The 89-year-old defendant was convicted of indecent assault and other charges involving a preteen boy in 2001 when he was pastor of St. Therese of Lisieux Parish in Munhall. He denied any abuse.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — Princess cruise line officials say passengers on a third ship have been ordered to stay on board while crew members are tested for COVID-19. The ship was placed under a “no sail” order by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control. Princess Cruises says the ship will dock in Grand Cayman to receive the test kits, but passengers won’t be able to disembark. The ship will then set sail for Fort Lauderdale, where it will remain off the coast until further notice. The Regal Princess was finally able to dock at Port Everglades on Sunday night under similar procedures.
