A priest from Scranton pleaded guilty to sex crimes against a former altar boy in New York.
Father Albert Libertore admitted in New York court to a sexual relationship that happened when the two stayed at a hotel in the New York City several years ago.
Last month Libertore pleaded guilty to sexually abusing the teen several times over three years in Luzerne and Lackawanna Counties.
The two met when Libertore was a priest at Sacred Heart Church in Duryea. The incidents continued when Libertore taught at the University of Scranton and the victim was a student there. The victim is now 20.
