	Former Knoxville Priest Gets Probation in N.C. Molestation Case By Nash Armstrong Knoxville News Sentinel July 28, 2010 http://www.knoxnews.com/news/2010/jul/28/former-knoxville-priest-gets-probation-nc-molestat/ A former Knoxville priest pleaded guilty this morning to “crimes against nature” in McDowell County, N.C. — and the head of a national victims group praised the Indiana man who came forward after 30-plus years to report being molested. Father Bill Casey, 76, will receive a two-year probation period, during which time he will participate in a sex offender program and pay a $500 fine and other court costs, Rutherford and McDowell County District Attorney Bradley Greenway said today. Casey has served parishes around East Tennessee for 41 years. Catholic officials said in April, when the abuse was first reported and Casey confessed to church investigators, that he would will never publicly perform Mass or even wear a collar again.
