The five co-defendants sit close enough to shake hands in the
Philadelphia courtroom, but they never once acknowledge one another.
Father James Brennan, a 47-year-old priest accused of raping a
14-year-old boy, looks sad and stooped in a navy sweater, unshaven and
sniffling. Edward Avery, a defrocked priest in his sixties, wears an
unsettlingly pleasant expression on his face, as though he's mentally
very far away.
He and two other defendants – the Rev. Charles Engelhardt, also in his sixties, and Bernard Shero, a former Catholic schoolteacher in his forties – are accused of passing around "Billy," a fifth-grade altar boy. According to the charges, the three men raped and sodomized the 10-year-old, sometimes making him perform stripteases or getting him drunk on sacramental wine after Mass.
