But yesterday, Philip DeFilippo, who turned to the media to air his family’s dirty laundry, hid like a frightened child inside his Eastchester home, peering out occasionally. <\/p>\n

The DeFilippos’ 14-year- old daughter \u2014 who told police in sworn statements how she saw her mom kissing and sitting on the monsignor’s lap in his hot tub \u2014 was dropped off at the home yesterday by women who called reporters "bastards." <\/p>\n
