A Criminal Court jury in Launceston has found a 72-year-old former priest guilty of sexual abuse.

The jury considered its verdict for two-and-a-half hours before finding Roger Michael Bellemore guilty of three counts of maintaining a sexual relationship with a young person under the age of 17.

Bellemore was a priest and teacher at Burnie's Marist College when he abused three boys who were students in the 1960s and 70s.
