– The Reverend Edward Ganster is among hundreds of priests named in the Pennsylvania grand jury investigation that revealed a mass child abuse scandal across six Catholic Church dioceses.
– Ganster was first accused of abusing a teenage boy in 1977 when he was a priest at St. Joseph’s Church in Easton.
– He left the church more than a decade later to get married.
– The diocese reportedly gave the priest a reference for a job at Walt Disney World, where he worked as a train driver in the Magic Kingdom for 15 years.
