HOMESTEAD, FLA. (WSVN) - A South Florida priest has been found guilty of sexual battery.
An all-female jury on Friday convicted Father Jean-Claude Philippe.
Philippe asked to be let out of jail until his sentencing, a request the judge denied.
In 2018, he attacked a parishioner at the Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Homestead.
Philippe faces up to 15 years in prison.
