A former Allentown priest was sentenced Monday to state prison for the indecent assault of a girl he met through his city parish.
Lehigh County Judge Maria Dantos noted it was a maximum sentence of one to two years in state prison for 31-year-old Kevin Lonergan, who has been free on bail in the case since he was charged.
Lonergan pleaded guilty in November to indecent assault of the girl, who was 17 at the time.
In addition to commending the bravery of the teen girl who came forward, Dantos took note of a prior accusation against Lonergan in another county.
