Rome - An Italian priest was Thursday sentenced to four years and two months in prison for paedophilia, a decade after his conviction for similar crimes.
The 58-year-old priest, originally from Sicily, was based in the Rome region and taught religion at a middle school, the Ansa agency said.
He was arrested in November and spent several days in jail before being released on home confinement.
His sentencing follows incidents of sexual abuse in the spring of 2006 at his church and involving a 12-year-old student, and at a camp with another 12-year-old boy on the island of Ventotene off Naples.
Ansa did not identify the priest but said he had been convicted of sexual abuse of minors 10 years ago. - Sapa-AFP
