A South Florida priest accused of molesting several boys entered a no contest plea to six counts in a Broward court Monday.

Neil Doherty, 69, had been charged with eight counts including sexual battery, lewd or lascivious molestation and committing a lewd act in the presence of a child.

He’s scheduled to be sentenced on Jan. 28.

Doherty, a former priest at St. Vincent’s Catholic Church in Margate, has been accused in several alleged incidents dating back to the early 1970s.
