The Catholic Diocese of Madison deems allegations of sexual misconduct against the Rev. William A. Nolan not credible.
Nolan served in several southern Wisconsin parishes.
Nolan will be able to minister publicly as a priest but in accordance with “the norm for retired priests in the Diocese of Madison, he will not have any parish assignment.”
The Jefferson County District Attorney charged Nolan with six counts of sexual assault of a child in the case of the altar boy, and Nolan pleaded not guilty.
A judge dismissed one of the six counts, and a jury found Nolan not guilty of the remaining counts in September.
