WITH LIBERTY...FOR ALL

Former Monsignor Released By Judge (NBC11.com, June 30, 2003)

In the wake of a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling, a former San Francisco monsignor was released on his own recognizance Monday after being charged with 244 child molestation counts involving 12 alleged victims.

Monsignor Patrick O'Shea, 70, is scheduled to return to San Francisco Superior Court July 16 for a hearing on whether the charges against him should be dismissed in light of the high court's ruling last week that struck down a California law which had allowed accused child molesters to be prosecuted years after the crimes allegedly occurred.
