Pennsylvania priest pleads guilty to sexually molesting 4th-grade boy | PennLive.com

As Catholic officials across Pennsylvania brace for what has been described as a graphic and blistering investigation report into clergy sex abuse, a Greensburg Diocese priest charged with child sex crimes on Tuesday pleaded guilty to sexually molesting a boy.

At a news conference Tuesday morning in Westmoreland County, Attorney General Josh Shapiro called Father John Sweeney of the Greensburg Diocese a predator.

"...(T)oday there is no doubt, John Sweeney is accepting full responsibility and admitting what he did," Shapiro said. Sweeney's victim, whose first name is Josh, stood to the right of Shapiro, flanked by deputy attorney generals.
