A former archbishop is expected to find out Wednesday whether he’ll receive jail time or a conditional sentence.

Earlier this year a judge convicted Seraphim Storheim of sexually assaulting an altar boy who lived with him in 1985.

Storheim was an Orthodox Church in America priest at the time and later became archbishop.

The crown wants 12 months in jail, while the defense is asking for a conditional sentence.
