The sentence for a local retired priest who was found guilty of sexually abusing a boy was vacated Thursday.

Father Hugh Lang, 89, will get a new trial, but a date has not been set.

Lang, a former priest at Saint Therese in Munhall, had been found guilty in November of felony unlawful contact with a minor, along with three other misdemeanors.
