GREEN BAY – A former area priest convicted of sexually abusing a student will be released from prison early because of a judge’s ruling.

Donald Buzanowski, who is now 69, was sentenced in 2005 to 32 years in prison for sexually abusing David Schauer while Schauer was a student at Green Bay’s Saints Peter and Paul School in 1988.

Today, a joint motion was agreed to by Judge William Atkinson that will release Buzanowski from prison as early as next week.

Atkinson, however, upheld Buzanowski’s 2005 sexual assault conviction.
