PHOENIX -- A 77-year-old Jesuit priest has been indicted in Phoenix, accused of molesting two young brothers during visits to Arizona between 1988 and 2002.

The alleged victims were 9 and 12 years old when the Reverend Donald McGuire allegedly began the abuse. Last fall, the brothers sued McGuire, who lives in suburban Chicago.
McGuire was convicted in Wisconsin in 2006 of molesting two boys on retreats in the late '60s. In February, he was indicted in Chicago for an alleged sexual relationship with a teenage boy over about a three-year period, starting in 2000.
The Phoenix indictment includes three counts of child molestation and one count each of providing obscene material to minors and indecent exposure.
McGuire was taken into custody yesterday but he complained of chest pains and is currently hospitalized in Chicago.
