LOUISVILLE (KY)
WAVE 3
By Maureen Kyle
(LOUISVILLE) -- A former Louisville priest who pleaded guilty to sexually abusing four young boys nearly a decade ago was sentenced Monday. Edwin Scherzer served as a priest at St. Therease and St. Edward Catholic parishes in the 1950s and 1960s. WAVE 3's Maureen Kyle was there.
As a priest, Edwin Scherzer once granted forgiveness. On Monday, however, he was seeking forgiveness from Jefferson Circuit Court after pleading guilty to four criminal counts of sexual abuse of a minor.
The prosecution and defense came to an agreement after Scherzer completed a pre-sentencing evaluation.
