CHICAGO - A prominent former Roman Catholic priest convicted of taking a boy on religious retreats to have sex with him is scheduled for sentencing.

Donald McGuire of Oak Lawn could be sentenced Wednesday to up to 30 years in prison after being convicted in October. The federal charge involved taking a minor across state lines for sex.

Jurors deliberated less than three hours in a 2 1/2-week trial. Several boys testified that McGuire had engaged in sexual conduct with them.

In 2006, McGuire was convicted in Wisconsin for child molestation and sentenced to seven years in prison. He has appealed that conviction. He was also been indicted in Arizona for child molestation and faces lawsuits in a series of new child molestation accusations.
