PHILADELPHIA (AP) ? A Roman Catholic church official has apologized to a priest sex-abuse victim on the final day of testimony in his child-endangerment trial.
Jurors in Philadelphia are set to hear closing arguments Thursday after the defense rested Tuesday.
Monsignor William Lynn and the Rev. James Brennan have been on trial for 10 weeks.
Lynn is the first U.S. church official charged over his handling of priest-abuse complaints.
Brennan is charged with sexually assaulting a teen in 1999. Defrocked priest Edward Avery is in prison after pleading guilty to sexual assault.
Lynn has testified that he tried to get accused priests away from children, but had limited power as secretary for clergy at the Philadelphia archdiocese.
He says he couldn't do enough to prevent Avery's crime, and says he's sorry for that.
