GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – A retired priest has been convicted of exposing himself to a minor.

Online court records reveal that Fr. Richard Thomas pled no contest to 2 charges while two other counts against him were dropped.

Back in March, prosecutors say Thomas exposed himself to a 16-year-old boy while the boy was walking to school. Thomas was living in Grellinger Hall, a home for retired priests in Allouez, at the time.

After the report of misconduct, the Catholic Diocese of Green Bay restricted Thomas from performing any public ministry.
