LJUBLJANA -- A Catholic priest in Slovenia has been sentenced to three years and ten months in jail for sexually molesting a 10-year-old girl.

The sentence to Franc Frantar was handed down by Ljubljana's District Court, reports from the Slovenian capital said.

The victim was sexually assaulted in her home, and at the parish building, the court found.

Frantar has thus become the first member of the clergy to be convicted of sexual abuse.

Previously, priest Karlo Jost was tried on 16 counts of sexual abuse of children, but he died before the end of the trial.
