Denver - A former foster parent who briefly served as an Episcopalian priest will spend the rest of his life behind bars for sexually assaulting children.

A judge today sentenced 74-year-old Donald Shissler to 210 years in prison. He'd been convicted Friday on 15 counts, including assault on a child and sexual exploitation of a child.

He was accused of assaulting three boys between 1997 and 2002.

Denver District Judge Martin Egelhoff called the case the worst of its kind he'd ever seen, but said Shissler still didn't think he'd done anything wrong.

Shissler had pleaded guilty in 2005 to two counts of sexual assault and was sentenced to 24 years to life in prison.

That was overturned, and a trial was ordered.
