A sentencing date of Jan. 4 has been set for former Roman Catholic priest Daniel C. Clark, who pleaded guilty last week to two counts of first-degree sexual abuse.

Clark pleaded guilty in Bullitt Circuit Court shortly before he was scheduled to be retried on charges of abusing two Bullitt County brothers.

The Kentucky Supreme Court overturned his 2003 conviction in the case earlier this year, after he had served nearly four years of his 10-year sentence. The court said improper instructions were given to the jury and one of the witnesses should not have been allowed to testify

Clark pleaded guilty under an agreement with prosecutors that would enable him to serve the remainder of his sentence under probation rather than behind bars and would require him to register as a sex offender.

The deal is subject to approval by Bullitt Circuit Judge Rodney Burress.
