Imprisoned ex-priest sentenced in another child assault case
UPDATED 5:27 PM EDT Aug 10, 2015
SALEM, Mass. —A retired Roman Catholic priest imprisoned for child rape has been sentenced to 8 to 10 years behind bars for assaulting another boy at a Massachusetts summer camp in the 1980s.
The Essex District Attorney's Office says 74-year-old Richard McCormick pleaded guilty Monday in Salem Superior Court to a reduced charge of indecent assault and battery on a child under 14. He had been charged with child rape.
The new sentence began Monday, and he isn't getting any credit for time already served.
McCormick is serving another 8- to 10-year prison sentence imposed last November for repeatedly raping a boy at the now-defunct Salesian Brothers' Sacred Heart camp in Ipswich in 1981 and 1982.
