JEFFERSON COUNTY, Wis. —
A former Fort Atkinson priest has been charged with six counts of second-degree sexual assault of a child.

The Rev. William Nolan, 64, was arrested Tuesday.

The alleged victim, a former altar boy, told investigators the assaults by Nolan took place over a five-year span from the ages of 12 to 17, beginning in February of 2006.

The incidents occurred in Nolan’s office, Nolan’s home and the altar boy room at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Fort Atkinson.

The victim reported the sexual assault in last month.
