	Citing State Law, Archdiocesan Facility Won't Turn over Priest Files By John P. Martin Philadelphia Inquirer October 12, 2011 www.philly.com/philly/news/131629643.html Citing state confidentiality law, the treatment center where the Archdiocese of Philadelphia sent pedophile priests is balking at turning over records to prosecutors in the looming child-sex-abuse trial of four current and former priests. The motion doesn't identify the patient, except to say he was treated there from Feb. 18, 1993 until Oct. 22, 1993. Those match the treatment dates for defendant Edward Avery, a former priest arrested in February. Avery, another priest and a former Catholic schoolteacher face trial next March on charges that they raped or molested the same altar boy at St. Jerome's in Northeast Philadelphia in the late 1990s. Each pleaded not guilty.
