SAN ANTONIO – A former Catholic priest convicted in a murder-for-hire case in North Texas has entered a guilty plea for the aggravated sexual assault of a 16-year-old boy.

John Fiala was sentenced Tuesday to 30 years in prison — on top of the 60 years he was already serving for solicitation of capital murder.

The 56-year-old was a priest at a church in Rocksprings in 2008 when the boy accused him of molesting him.
