A former Catholic priest has been sentenced to five years of probation with two years of home confinement and location monitoring, for lying to investigators about not knowing a former parishioner and victim of sexual abuse.
Robert Brennan, 84, of Perryville, Maryland, was a priest in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia from 1993 to 2004. He served at Resurrection of Our Lord parish in the Rhawnhurst section of Northeast Philadelphia. He was sentenced this week by U.S. District Judge Anita B. Brody, according to a statement from U.S. Attorney Jennifer Arbittier Williams.
Brennan pleaded guilty to making materially false statements in a matter within the jurisdiction of the executive branch of the United States government, in connection with an April 2019 FBI interview, during which Brennan made a number of false statements.
