A former Calcasieu priest has been sentenced to 250 years in prison for sexually abusing altar boys.

In February, Mark Broussard was found guilty of aggravated rape (two counts), aggravated oral sexual battery and molestation of a juvenile.

On Friday, he was sentenced to two life sentences, one for each count of aggravated rape. He also was sentenced to 20 years for aggravated oral sexual battery; 15 years for oral sexual battery and 15 years for molestation of a juvenile, the District Attorney’s office said.

The sentences are to run consecutive to each other, for a total of 250 years, the DA’s office said.

Broussard has been in jail since his conviction last month.
