A longtime Catholic priest with a history of molesting children will be sentenced today after he was convicted last year of taking a Cincinnati boy to West Virginia and assaulting him in 1991.
The Rev. Robert F. Poandl could serve up to 10 years in prison when he appears before a federal court judge in Downtown Cincinnati at 9:30 a.m.
Federal jurors found him guilty in September of transporting a minor in interstate commerce with the intent of engaging him in sex.
Poandl belongs to a Fairfield-based Catholic religious order called the Glenmary Home Missioners and is not associated with the Archdiocese of Cincinnati.
