A court in southeastern Germany has sentenced a former Catholic priest to 8 ½ years in prison for child sex abuse.

The regional court in Deggendorf, about 100 kilometers (62 miles) northeast of Munich, found the defendant guilty Thursday of abusing five boys on more than 100 occasions since the mid-1990s.

He was also convicted of bodily harm, forging documents and possessing child pornography.
