Former Catholic priest Daniel Herek did more than two years in prison after a 1998 conviction for sexually assaulting an altar boy in Omaha. He was eventually transferred to a state mental hospital and, last October, was released into society.
Last month, it was recently learned, Herek was ticketed in Omaha for masturbating in a parking lot at the Crossroads Mall.
Police cited Herek, 60, after a woman called them and reported that she witnessed his conduct.
Herek was convicted of assaulting a then-14-year-old altar boy and of videotaping that conduct. He went to prison in 1998 and was transferred to the Lincoln Regional Center in 2001. Herek was released in October of 2004.
