A German court jailed a Roman Catholic priest for six years Thursday after convicting him of 250 counts of sexually abusing three boys over a seven-year period, an official said.
The 46-year-old priest, who was arrested in July, admitted during the trial to sexually abusing the boys, aged nine to 15, whose families the priest knew, a court spokesman said.
“Due to the high number of cases of sexual abuse, many of which were cases of aggravated abuse, he was handed a total sentence of six years,” the spokesman said.
