February 18, 2006 (ELKHORN, Wis.) - A retired Catholic priest is on trial in Elkhorn, Wisconsin on charges he molested two boys at a Wisconsin home in the late 1960s after befriending them at an Illinois academy.
In opening statements today, prosecutors said the Reverend Donald McGuire befriended the boys as a teacher at Loyola Academy in Wilmette (Illinois.)
They say he molested them at his campus living quarters and during trips to a home on Geneva Lake. They were 14 or 15 years old at the time.
The 75-year-old McGuire of Chicago is charged with five counts of indecent behavior with a child.
