A local priest appeared in Brown County court on Thursday accused of flashing a teenage boy multiple times last month.
The priest’s bail was set at $750 cash, though prosecutors asked the court for $5,000.
Father Richard Thomas was arrested Wednesday on four felony counts of exposing himself to a minor.
Thomas’s attorney entered a not-guilty plea on his behalf as the Catholic priest appeared via video conference from the Brown County Jail for his initial appearance.
According to the criminal complaint, Thomas exposed himself to a 16-year-old boy on March 14, 15, 16 and 17.
