MIAMI -- A former South Florida Catholic priest silently faced a judge on Monday in his arraignment on charges of drugging and raping young boys.

Neil Doherty, 62, was arrested in February and is being held without bond on five sex-related charges.

Neither he nor his attorney spoke at the hearing, so the judge entered an automatic not guilty plea.
