TRENTON — A former Diocese of Trenton priest was sentenced to three years in prison Friday for molesting a 16-year-old boy in a Trenton home last year.
The Rev. Romannilo “Nilo” Apura was sentenced to three years in prison on Friday.

The Rev. Romannilo “Nilo” Apura was arrested last summer following a second incident when he attempted to remove the boy’s pants, authorities said at the time.
Apura, who was most recently a pastor at St. Martha Parish in Point Pleasant, will have to be registered as a sex offender, assistant prosecutor Jennifer Downing said.
A restraining order also bars him from contacting the victim or his family and he cannot have unsupervised contact with children under the age of 18, she said.
