A Pennsylvania pastor convicted of raping a teenage parishioner when
she skipped school will stay in prison after an appeals court rejected
his claim that his punishment is "harsh and excessive."
Othonier Altruz's argument that his 7 3/4 - to 16-yeat jail term is
unjust is based on nothing more than "bald allegations," Judge John L.
Musmanno found in the Superior Court panel's opinion.
Investigators said the 56-year-old Altruz encountered the 13-year-old
Delaware County girl when she walked by his car after deciding to cut
class. She recognized Altruz as her pastor and accepted his offer of a
ride. She later told police that Altruz took her to a motel, ripped off
her clothes, pushed her onto a bed and raped her.
