Priest convicted for covering up abuse claims is freed
Monsignor William Lynn left the state prison in Waymart in northeastern Pennsylvania, prison spokeswoman Terri Fazio said, and was taken by the Philadelphia Sheriff’s Office to a city jail, where he was to be fitted with an electronic monitoring device.
He will then be released, probably to the custody of a family member, one of his lawyers said. It was not clear when that would happen, however. Attorney, Thomas Bergstrom, declined to say where in Philadelphia his client will live while prosecutors appeal the ruling.
