ELKHORN-A jury trial set for Donald J. McGuire, a 75-year-old retired Catholic priest, was delayed nearly a month Friday because a key prosecution witness was unavailable.

McGuire's trial will begin Feb. 17 and last through much of the next week. It had been slated to start Jan. 20.

McGuire, who is from Chicago, is accused of having repeated, inappropriate sexual contact with two boys at a Fontana lake home during the late 1960s.
