Trial begins in first of 150 Northern California church abuse cases

San Francisco, California --

Opening statements began today in a San Francisco courtroom for the first of dozens of church abuse trials in Northern California.
Larry Drivon is the attorney for a man who says he was molested by the late Reverend Joseph Pritchard while the man was a student at Saint Martin of Tours Church in San Jose.

Drivon told jurors during his opening 20 minute statement that at least one priest who lived in the rectory with Pritchard saw several incidences of abuse.

The abuses allegedly took place in 1972 and 1973.

The case was filed against the San Francisco Roman Catholic dioceses.
