Francis Trauger, 74, is accused of molesting two boys at a Tullytown parish between 1996 and 2000.
The former Catholic priest accused of sexually abusing two altar boys at a Tullytown parish now faces trial in county court.
Bucks County District Attorney’s office spokesman James O’Malley said Francis Trauger, 74, stipulated to the criminal complaint only for the purpose of his preliminary hearing Tuesday afternoon.
That means no testimony was necessary.
Trauger’s charges, which are misdemeanor offenses of indecent assault of someone younger than 16, indecent assault of someone younger than 13 and corruption of minors, were held for county court.
