ALAMOGORDO, N.M. —
A retired Roman Catholic priest was sentenced Friday to a maximum 275 years in prison for molesting eight boys 20 years ago.
David A. Holley showed no emotion as Judge Robert M. Doughty II handed down the sentences that would require Holley to serve a minimum of 55 years. Based on the minimum sentence, he could be eligible for parole after 18 1/2 years.
Holley, 65, pleaded guilty March 23 to eight molestation counts, including charges of sexual assault, sodomy and aggravated sodomy.
