Father Michael Kelly was held liable on three counts of assault, sexual assault and abuse late Friday afternoon.
The 10-woman, two-man jury took just a matter of hours to determine whether Kelly was held liable for the charges brought against him.
The trial, which began Feb. 29, centered on a 37-year-old Fairfax man who sued Father Michael Kelly for sexually assaulting him when the plaintiff was an altar boy in the mid-1980s at the Cathedral of the Annunciation in Stockton.
The plaintiff remained unnamed throughout the trial because he was a possible victim of sexual assault.
