	Former Wv Priest Sentenced for Virginia Crime Metro News February 18, 2011 http://www.wvmetronews.com/index.cfm?func=displayfullstory&storyid=43369 A Catholic priest who at one time worked in West Virginia received a suspended sentence Friday in a Virginia courtroom in a sex-related case. Fr. Felix C. Owino was sentenced to five years and nine months in prison after a previous guilty to plea to aggravated sexual battery involving an 11-year-old girl. The judge suspended five years of the sentence and ordered Owino to jail for nine months. He was given credit for the seven months he has already been in custody. The 44-year-old Owino, a native of Kenya, at one time was the pastor at St. Paul's Parish in Weirton. He also worked at Wheeling Jesuit University. The group SNAP, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, expressed disappointment with Friday's sentencing.
