A federal jury in Los Angeles returned a guilty verdict Friday against a Catholic priest, formerly assigned to a church in Lake Arrowhead, who was charged with abusive sexual conduct for groping a sleeping woman on an airline flight last Aug. 17.

Federal Bureau of Investigation spokesperson Laura Eimiller said Father Marcelo De Jesumaria, 46, is not in custody and is scheduled for sentencing on Aug. 24. He is currently free on a $15,000 bond, said Thom Mrozek, a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney’s Los Angeles office. Jesumaria could face a maximum two-year prison sentence.
