	Former Priest in Jail after Judge Denied Appeal Associated Press, carried in KPTM July 11, 2008 http://www.kptm.com/Global/story.asp?S=8660830&nav=menu606_2_4 OMAHA, Neb. (AP) - A former Catholic priest convicted of exposing himself has begun serving his 120-day sentence. A Douglas County official confirmed Friday, 63-year-old Daniel Herek in jail. On Thursday, a judge denied Herek's request to serve his sentence under house arrest. Herek was convicted of indecent exposure and lewd conduct in 2005. A woman had reported that she saw Herek fondling himself in a mall parking lot. Herek was defrocked after he was convicted of molesting a 14-year-old altar boy. The former priest served 2 1/2 years of a 5-year sentence in prison. On Friday, he pleaded no contest to violating probation in the case. Herek was sentenced for assaulting the boy and making a videotape.
