	Former Priest Back in Court for Plea Deal Violation WAVE December 3, 2008 http://www.wave3.com/Global/story.asp?S=9453699 SHEPHERDSVILLE, KY (WAVE) - A former catholic priest on probation for sex abuse charges from the 1980's faced prison time in a Bullitt County courtroom Wednesday. The Kentucky Supreme Court overturned Daniel Clark's conviction for testimony errors, but Clark pleaded guilty before the second trial. As part of the plea deal, Clark was supposed to sign up for a sex offenders program and had not until the threat of going back to prison. "If he gets back into his program and accepts responsibility, there may be some help for him. But he has abused many more victims than those that have come forward and what he is convicted of," said Tom Weitter, a spokesperson for Clark's victims. Clark was accused of abusing 19 boys in various lawsuits against the Archdiocese of Louisville. The archdiocese paid out more than $30-million to settle those and other cases against catholic priests.
