Priest pleads not guilty
A Jesuit priest convicted of molesting two boys pleaded innocent Wednesday to charges that he traveled outside the U.S. to engage in sex with a teenage boy.
The Rev. Donald McGuire, once a spiritual adviser to Mother Teresa, is charged with traveling with the teen to Austria, Switzerland and Nicaragua and with traveling interstate to Minnesota to engage in sex with him.
The offenses are alleged to have occurred in 2000, 2001 and 2002. After he was charged, McGuire was released from custody but ordered confined to his Oak Lawn apartment.
But McGuire, who is said to suffer from congestive heart failure, has been allowed to travel to a clinic in Cleveland for treatment. In 2006, a Wisconsin jury convicted McGuire of molesting two boys from Loyola Academy in Wilmette in the 1960s.
