A Catholic monsignor locked up for the past 18 months as part of the clergy sex-abuse sandal stepped out of a Pennsylvania prison this morning.
Monsignor William Lynn was freed around 10 a.m. Thursday after the Roman Catholic Church helped him post bail earlier in the week.
Sheriff’s officers are expected to transfer Lynn temporarily to Curran-Fromhold Correctional Facility where he will be processed and told rules for his release.
Defense lawyer Thomas Bergstrom said required electronic monitoring will track Lynn. The priest’s attorneys already turned over his passport, which was also a condition of his release.
