According to defense questioning Wednesday, the accuser has said the rape occurred in his sixth-grade classroom, outside an apartment complex, and near a city park.
The 24-year-old policeman's son says he was high on heroin when he spoke to the Philadelphia archdiocese in 2009. He says his habit once reached 15 to 20 bags a day.
He accuses two Roman Catholic priests and ex-teacher Bernard Shero of sexually assaulting him in about 1999. Shero and the Rev. Charles Engelhardt are on trial, fighting the charges.
But now-defrocked priest Edward Avery is in prison after pleading guilty to sexual assault. He's expected to testify.
The accuser is also suing the Philadelphia archdiocese.
