A Massachusetts judge dismissed a criminal case against former Cardinal Theodore McCarrick Aug. 30, ruling the disgraced cleric no longer has the cognitive capacity to stand trial.
McCarrick faced charges he sexually abused a teenage boy nearly 50 years ago and could have faced a sentence of up to five years in prison on each individual count — three counts of indecent assault and battery of a person over the age of 14 — had he been convicted.
This is a breaking news story. More to come.
