PA Priest Pleads Guilty to Sexually Abusing Two Boys
----------------------------------------------------

A Pennsylvania Catholic Priest pleaded guilty Wednesday to sexually
abusing two boys. Prosecutors say Reverend David Lee Poulson sexually
abused an altar boy in the church and made him confess afterward, as
well as assaulting him-and attempting to assault another boy-at hunting
camp. Poulson was arrested and charged in May following the explosive
Pennsylvania grand jury investigation into systematic widespread sexual
abuse in the Church.
