A jury trial is set for a retired priest accused of repeatedly sexually assaulting a child.
William Nolan pleaded not guilty on Thursday to 6 counts of second degree sexual assault of a child.
Nolan was arrested in May after the alleged victim, a former altar boy, told investigators about the assaults. The victim claims they happened over a five-year span from the ages of 12 to 17.
The Survivors’ Network of Those Abused by Priests, also known as SNAP, says this case is an important example of why victim of these crimes should come forward.
