PHILADELPHIA—Jurors in a Philadelphia clergy-abuse trial are hearing about a priest left in ministry after therapists called him a pedophile and ticking time bomb.

The trial Tuesday is focusing on the late Peter Dunne, a Boy Scout leader who ran a school for troubled boys.

Church memos show a doctor complained in 1986 that Dunne had abused him, and asked for money for counseling.

Therapists evaluating Dunne warned he should never be around children.
