A Catholic priest recently released from prison after serving time for molesting a child in Guernsey in the 1980s has returned to Ohio as he intended, his attorney said last week.

Anthony Jablonowski, 68, was released from the Wyoming Honor Farm in Riverton two weeks ago after serving the lower end of a 15-month to seven-year prison sentence, his attorney Dallas Laird said.

In April 2004, Jablonowski pleaded no contest to taking indecent, immodest or immoral liberties with a minor who was a 17-year-old boy in the 1980s.

In February, he waived a scheduled parole hearing.

In March, another man filed a civil lawsuit against Jablonowski alleging he sexually abused him as a teen.

After his release two weeks ago, Jablonowski registered as a sex offender in Wyoming and in Ohio, Laird said.
