A former Catholic priest convicted of sexually assaulting a young boy is living in a Green Bay apartment building despite a city board’s action prohibiting him from living there.
Donald Buzanowski, 69, who served seven years in prison, has moved into an apartment at 2258 Imperial Lane, about one block from a public park with playground equipment.
City officials say Buzanowski found a loophole in the city’s ordinance after the Sex Offender Residence Board this summer rejected his request to live in the Imperial Lane apartment.
The loophole stems from the fact that Buzanowski was convicted under a state law that is now outdated and, therefore, is not cited in the city ordinance as a reason for restricting where sex offenders can live in Green Bay.
