Fourth youth implicates Somerset priest in sexual abuse
Federal prosecutors have identified a fourth minor whom they contend a Somerset County priest, the Rev. Joseph D. Maurizio, attempted to photograph in the nude when he traveled to Central and South America, allegedly to have sex with orphaned boys.
Federal officials said the priest used a self-run charity based in Johnstown, PA, Humanitarian Interfaith Ministries, to visit the orphanage numerous times between 1999 and 2009, promising candy and cash to boys to watch them shower, to have sex or to fondle them.
Jury selection for the trial, expected to last at least three weeks, is set to begin Tuesday.
