DALLAS – A former Catholic priest has been sentenced for hiring a hit man to kill a teen he’s accused of raping.

That teen was found in Big Spring where police say John Fiala had set the boy up in an apartment and enrolled him in school.

A Dallas jury sentenced John Fiala to 60 years in prison for the murder for hire plot. He’ll be eligible for parole in 15 years.

John Fiala was convicted on Thursday.
