Court proceedings for a former priest accused of sexually abusing multiple children in Maricopa County are continuing more than 17 years after his indictment.
Joseph Henn, 72, was extradited in June 2019, years after fleeing to Italy. He is accused of abusing at least three boys while serving as a priest at St. Mark s Catholic Church in Phoenix from 1978 to 1982. He was an associate pastor at the parish.
One of the victims told The Arizona Republic his mother begged the Roman Catholic Diocese of Phoenix to take action against Henn so he wouldn t harm any more children.
Henn fled to Italy in 2003 after being indicted and was placed on house arrest in 2005 because he refused to cooperate with his extradition, his lawyer at the time told the media.
