Priest Found Guilty of Child Sex Abuse
CINCINNATI, W.VA — A priest charged with taking a 10-year-old boy to West Virginia for sex more than two decades ago was found guilty on Friday. Federal jurors in Cincinnati found Robert Poandl guilty of one count of transporting a minor in interstate commerce with the intent of engaging him in sex, a charge that carries a possible sentence of up to 10 years in prison. Poandl, from the suburban Cincinnati-based Glenmary Home Missioners, took the boy to Spencer on Aug. 3, 1991, and raped him while visiting a church there, prosecutors said. Poandl’s attorney, Stephen Wenke, told jurors the allegations were false and denied the boy was even on the trip. READ MORE HERE
