A Brown County judge is releasing a former Green Bay priest convicted of child sexual abuse just seven years into a 32-year sentence.

After that decision, one of Donald Buzanowski’s victims spoke out about the defrocked priest getting out of prison decades early.

A jury found Buzanowski guilty in 2005 of fondling ten-year-old David Schauer at Saints Peter and Paul School in 1988.

Prosecutors agreed to a motion Friday afternoon to release Buzanowski early, because of a legal technicality with the state’s statute of limitations on child sex abuse cases before 1989.

Buzanowski will be supervised in a group home when he’s released as early as next week.
