Pennsylvania prosecutors on Thursday presented church records and a witness they said showed that three former leaders of a Roman Catholic order endangered hundreds of boys by putting them in contact with a cleric they knew was a sexual predator.
The three Franciscan friars, Giles Schinelli, 73, Robert D'Aversa, 69, and Anthony Criscitelli, 61, face felony charges of endangering the welfare of children and conspiracy by enabling the sexual predations of Brother Stephen Baker, a member of their order who committed suicide in 2013.
