Priest gets year in jail in 1988 child abuse

Green Bay, Wisconsin -- A former Norbertine priest who entered a no-contest plea in August for fondling a 14-year-old boy in 1988 received one year in the Brown County Jail rather than the maximum 10 years in prison.

Judge Sue Bischel sentenced James Stein to 10 years in prison, but stayed the sentence, giving him 10 years probation.

She said, however, that she could not let him go without some incarceration because of a sexual assault conviction in an incident involving a college student in 1991 and two other similar incidents with other minors that were dropped as part of a plea bargain. She sentenced him to a year in the county jail, with good behavior and Huber Law privileges.
