DAYTON, Ohio -- A former local priest wants to change his plea from guilty to not guilty on charges of public indecency and giving alcohol to teen-agers, News 5 has learned.

Father Thomas Kuhn, a former Elder High School principal, was in court Thursday to find out if a judge would revoke his probation on those charges and send him to jail. He was convicted and sentenced to 30 days in the Montgomery County Detention Center.

Now there will also be a hearing on the plea change.

His lawyers said the terms of the probation were too broad.

Kuhn violated his probation by trying to counsel kids at Elder after a classmate was murdered last year.

Kuhn claimed he went to the school when classes were not in session to visit the principal, whom he had previously worked with.

Kuhn was convicted in Montgomery County, where he served as a parish pastor after leaving Elder.
