Jurors in the retrial of a suspended Philadelphia priest accused of having molested a young boy almost two decades ago have reported an impasse but agreed to resume deliberations in the case Wednesday.

The Rev. Andrew McCormick is accused of having assaulted an altar boy in a rectory bedroom in 1997. The 27-year-old victim alleges that the abuse started when he was 11 and later led him to attempt suicide. McCormick has denied the allegations.

Last year, a jury deliberated for four days without reaching a verdict.
