PHILADELPHIA (AP) – A Roman Catholic monsignor from Philadelphia will not be released on bail while he appeals his conviction for hiding abuse complaints against a priest.
Common Pleas Judge M. Teresa Sarmina denied the request Monday, citing what she called the serious nature of Monsignor William Lynn’s conduct that led to his conviction of child-endangerment in June. Lynn is serving a three- to six-year term.
Lawyers for the 61-year-old Lynn say they will take their appeal of that conviction to a state appeals court.
