	Judge Says Convicted Priest Can Remain Free Despite New Claim Associated Press, carried in WBAY September 6, 2007 http://www.wbay.com/Global/story.asp?S=7037720 ELKHORN, Wis. (AP) - A judge says a prominent Jesuit priest convicted of molesting high school students in the 1960s can remain free on bond despite a new allegation of abuse. Father Donald McGuire is free on bond while he appeals his February 2006 conviction on charges that he sexually abused two students during retreats in Wisconsin in 1967 and 1968. Prosecutors last month sought to force McGuire to begin serving his 7-year prison sentence after a man filed a civil lawsuit claiming he was abused by him between 1999 and 2003. Walworth County Judge James Carlson rejected the motion, saying the claims have not been proven. The 77-year-old was once a spiritual adviser to Mother Teresa.
