OMAHA — The Nebraska Supreme Court has refused to hear an appeal from a former Roman Catholic priest who was convicted for exposing himself in a mall parking lot.

Daniel Herek faces a 120-day jail sentence for lewd conduct and indecent exposure in the September 2005 incident at an Omaha shopping mall. He’s been free while awaiting the appeal.

In 1999, Herek was sentenced to five years in prison and five years of probation for sexually assaulting a 14-year-old boy and making a videotape.

Because Herek was on probation at the time of the mall incident, he could get additional time behind bars.

" So, was he still a priest following the 1999 incident. I would be interested in more indepth information....this is pretty vague. "

" He was not functioning as a priest following the first incident. He was suspended from his ministry at the time of the accusations. "

 Once a Priest wrote on May 15, 2008 1:39 pm:
" Once a priest always a priest. The title says former priest, likely means though still a priest, he is not functioning in assigened duties from the church. "
