A local priest is sentenced for sexual assault in a Fairfax, Va. courtroom.

Father Felix Owino was sentenced Friday to five years, with all but nine months suspended. Owino was credited for the seven and a-half months he has been in custody.

According to the Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests (SNAP), 44-year-old Owino entered a guilty plea to the aggravated sexual battery of an 11-year-old girl in Virginia Circuit Court in Fairfax County back in September.

SNAP had urged the judge to give Owino the longest sentence possible.
