A federal judge on Wednesday sentenced a former Dublin prison chaplain to seven years behind bars.
Prosecutors had sought a 10-year sentence for James Highhouse, 49, saying he used Bible stories and God to manipulate them into having sex with him.
Many of the women told U.S. District Court Judge Haywood S. Gilliam Jr. that Highhouse took advantage of them at their lowest points; and two said they would never return to church again.
