PHILADELPHIA — A priest who led the largest Roman Catholic high school in Philadelphia stole $900,000 and used some of it to ply a student he had molested with drugs and alcohol, prosecutors said Thursday.

The Rev. Charles Newman became president of Archbishop Ryan High School in July 2002 but was fired 15 months later when questions arose about his handling of school finances.

Forensic audits show he stole $331,000 from the school and more than $550,000 from his religious order, the Franciscan Friars, District Attorney Lynne Abraham said.

Newman, 57, gave $54,000 to former student Arthur Baselice III, who later sued over what he described as a sexual relationship with Newman that started when he was a high school junior. The pair would meet at Newman's office or residence and often used drugs together while having sex, prosecutors said.

Baselice unsuccessfully sued the archdiocese and spoke publicly about the case before dying of a drug overdose in 2006. He was 28 and had struggled with addiction to cocaine, marijuana and alcohol, according to his lawyer, Jay Abramowitch.

STATE COLLEGE — Felony assault charges were refiled against a pair of Penn State football players, two weeks after a judge dismissed the same charges at a preliminary hearing.Defensive tackle Chris Baker and linebacker Navorro Bowman were charged Wednesday with being part of a group of more than a dozen people that beat a man during a fraternity party on Oct. 7 at the student union building. The alleged victim suffered a broken nose, cuts and bruises.District Judge Carmine Prestia dismissed the felony charges against Baker, 20, and Bowman, 19, on Dec. 5, but ordered the pair to stand trial on misdemeanor charges.Centre County District Attorney Michael Madeira said Prestia erred when he dropped the felony charges. The judge said the evidence did not show Baker and Bowman may have landed the blows that rose to the level of aggravated assault.Madeira's office also filed a motion Wednesday asking for a new judge to be assigned to the case.Baker and safety Anthony Scirrotto also face trial on charges related to an off-campus fight in April in which police said two people were hurt.
