John Praveen (38 yeras) pleaded guilty in Feb to sexually touching a 13-year-old girl over her clothes last year.
As per reports Judge Steven Mandel handed down the sentence on Friday after prosecutors asked for the max of one year in prison.
The Judge said that was “not adequate” for Praveen’s crime.
He will be eligible for parole in 3 years, after which the parole board could ask the federal Govt to deport him to India.
Praveen had joined the Rapid City Diocese for a 10-year assignment in Dec 2017. He apologized and told the Court he wishes he could take back what he did.
