OSHKOSH – Norbert Maday, a former Catholic priest who was convicted of sexually assaulting teenage boys, has been committed as a sexual predator.

A deal between prosecutors and Maday was reached in Winnebago County Court Tuesday, avoiding a jury trial which had been scheduled.

Maday, now 73, was a Chicago area priest convicted in 1994 of sexually assaulting teenage boys during a visit to Oshkosh. He was sentenced to 20 years in prison. Upon completion of the sentence in 2007, the state sought to have him committed as a sexual predator under the Chapter 980 law. That’s a civil commitment – not a criminal one – that places the offender under the care of the Department of Health for treatment.
