More victims accuse NYC pastor of abuse

HARLEM - Manhattan prosecutors say 10 people have now lodged complaints about Monsignor Wallace Harris, who was suspended by the Archdiocese of New York after the allegations surfaced this summer.

A spokeswoman for the district attorney says that even if the allegations are true, a statute of limitations will keep the state from prosecuting.

Harris had been a pastor at the Church of St. Charles Borromeo since 1989.

A spokesman for the archdiocese says Harris insists he is innocent.

A church panel will determine whether he should be permanently removed from duty.
