A suspended priest from the Diocese of Scranton will face trial on sex crime charges.
Father Philip Altavilla was in court Tuesday for allegedly having indecent contact with a 13-year-old girl in 1998.
Altavilla’s accuser came forward last month, 16 years after the incident allegedly took place.
The woman came face-to-face with Altavilla in the courtroom Tuesday, where she described how his actions made her feel.
She used words: very uncomfortable, confused, upset and hurt.
