Defense attorneys for the Catholic Church official on trial in Philadelphia are objecting to a prosecution motion to take the depositions of nuns who lived at the same monastery with a priest who two witnesses have testified raped them for several years when they were young teenagers.
Prosecutors argue that Monsignor William J. Lynn falsely assured R.K., who became a priest himself before leaving the priesthood, that the mother superior at the Carmelite Monastery in Philadelphia was informed of the Rev. Stanley Gana’s past and she was supervising him accordingly. The Legal is not naming the alleged victims.
