Philadelphia Church Official Sentenced to 3 to 6 Years for Covering Up Child Sex
Abuse

Monsignor Lynn, 61, a former Cardinal’s aide, was found guilty on June 22 of one
count of endangering a child, after a trial lasting more than two months that
revealed an effort lasting decades by the Philadelphia archdiocese to play down
accusations of child sexual abuse and avoid scandal.
