When his wife was pregnant in 1996, Mark Rozzi said he “prayed to God we wouldn't have a boy.”
Rozzi, 44, a Democratic state House member
from Reading, had a reason for that prayer. Rozzi says he was raped by
his priest at the Holy Guardian Angel Catholic Church when he was 13.
The vast majority of sexual abuse by priests is perpetrated against
boys, experts and national studies suggest.
