CINCINNATI (AP) —A Hamilton County priest convicted of taking a 10-year-old boy to West Virginia for sex in 1991 is challenging his conviction and sentence in a federal court.
A priest charged with taking a 10-year-old boy to West Virginia for sex more than two decades ago was found guilty on Friday.
The 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati is hearing arguments Wednesday on Robert Poandl’s appeal.
He was convicted in 2013 of transporting a minor in interstate commerce with the intent of engaging him in sex.
Prosecutors said the suburban Cincinnati priest took the boy to Spencer, W.Va., on Aug. 3, 1991, and raped him there.
