CAMDEN, N.J. (AP) A judge in Camden County sentenced a defrocked Catholic priest to eight years in prison Thursday for sexually assaulting a former altar boy ten years ago.
James Hopkins admitted fondling the then-ten-year-old at Saint Aloysius Church in Oaklyn.
The allegations against Hopkins surfaced near the height of a national scandal revolving around sexual abuse by clergy in 2002.
