In Madison, Wisconsin, it was announced this week that the Wisconsin Supreme Court has ruled to uphold a priest's conviction. The priest, Donald McGuire, was charged with sexual abuse. However, McGuire argued that the allegations made against him were false.
Two men came forward to say that while they were boys, McGuire abused them throughout the 1960s. The men came forward in 2003 and told police that during trips to Fontana, WI, they were sexually abused by McGuire.
In 2006, a jury ruled to convict the former priest in Walworth County. McGuire then appealed his conviction, saying that the delay between when the alleged abuse occurred and when it was reported made it difficult for him to properly defend himself. However, the Wisconsin Supreme Court felt differently, and ruled against him.
