FROM THE EXPRESS TIMES
A veteran Philadelphia sportswriter and columnist has retired following allegations from three women and a man that he had molested them decades ago.
The Philadelphia Inquirer reports that four claim 77-year-old Bill Conlin groped and fondled them in the 1970s, when they were from ages 7 to 12.
Conlin, a Hall of Fame baseball writer and Philadelphia Daily News columnist, retired today from the paper, where he had worked for more than four decades.
His attorney, George Bochetto, said his client was "obviously floored by these accusations" and "has engaged me to do everything possible to bring the facts forward to vindicate his name."
Prosecutors in Gloucester County, N.J., said no charges could be filed because assaults that occurred before 1996 fall under the statute of limitations.
Conlin was elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in July.
