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.

Stanley Gana’s past and she was supervising him accordingly. The Legal is not naming the alleged victims.
