PRIEST PLEADS GUILTY TO ABUSE

The Rev. Louis E. Miller, a 72 year old retired Roman Catholic priest, pleaded guilty yesterday to sexually abusing 21 children.  I remember these children very well, Miller said as the judge read the names of each victim.  I remember fondling these children.  He pleaded guilty as his trial was set to begin on 44 counts of indecent and immoral practices and six counts of sexual abuse.  He faces trial on similar charges in Oldham County in June, plus dozens of civil suits.  Sentencing is scheduled for May 27.  Miller will face 1 to 10 years in prison for each count of indecent and immoral practices with another, and 1 to 5 years for each count of sexual abuse.
