The man, who has been both a priest and a school teacher, as well as having served as a foster parent, preyed on children as young as six, turning his home into what prosecutors described as a "Disneyland" style environment which included candy, games, computer games and a hot tub. The not-so-Disneyland-like aspects of his environment however included framed pictures of naked boys, a hot tub, and the man frequently walking around naked.
Taking only three hours, the jury found the former priest guilty and sentencing will be conducted before the end of July.
The man originally pleaded guilty in 2002, but the guilty plea was overturned after further victims came forward claiming they too had been abused.
Yet another high moral standard being set.
