Louisville (AP) — A former priest will face a second trial on sexual-abuse charges in October.

The Kentucky Supreme Court overturned 59-year-old Daniel Clark's conviction in May. The high court said the trial judge gave faulty instructions to the jury and improperly allowed a former victim of Clark to testify.

Bullitt County prosecutors say they will retry Clark, starting October 30th, in part because he has not taken part in the sex offender treatment program while in prison.

Clark was convicted in 2004 of molesting two boys between 1999 and 2002. The two boys were eight- and nine-years-old at the time. Clark was sentenced to 10 years in prison.
