A new federal indictment identifies three alleged victims in the case of a Pennsylvania priest charged with traveling to Honduras to have sex with poor street children during missionary trips.
The Rev. Joseph Maurizio has been jailed since last fall when federal prosecutors in Johnstown accused him of molesting one boy, and possessing child pornography. The new indictment returned Tuesday adds two victims and charges the 69-year-old priest with sending $8,000 to a charity to help facilitate the trips which ended in 2009. None of the alleged victims are named, but all are under 18.
