The conviction and sentencing of a retired priest accused of sexually abusing a boy in Munhall almost two decades ago have been vacated.
A judge threw out Father Hugh Lang’s conviction Monday.
The 89-year-old had been previously found guilty of molesting a then 10-year-old boy in 2001 while serving as a priest for St. Therese in Munhall.
He had been accused of making the victim take off his clothes, touching him inappropriately and taking naked photos of him.
