COLUMBUS, Ohio – A Greek Orthodox priest accused of trying to solicit sex from young boys entered a guilty plea in court Thursday afternoon.
Patrick Nicholas Hughes was sentenced to six years in prison after being arrested last week on one count of attempted rape and one count of attempted unlawful conduct with a minor.
Authorities said Hughes, 56, tried to arrange a meeting to have sex with two boys, ages 9 and 14.
O’Brien said in his Thursday afternoon court appearance, Hughes waived his right to indictment and entered a guilty plea to the Bill of Information.
