GREEN BAY (AP) - A retired priest has pleaded not guilty to allegations that exposed himself to a minor in Brown County.
 
Rev. Richard Thomas pleaded not guilty to four counts of exposing himself during an appearance in court Monday.
 
The Catholic Diocese of Green Bay has restricted the 78-year-old priest from any public ministry. Thomas was living in Grellinger Hall, a home for retired priests in Allouez. He's accused of exposing himself four times in March to a 16-year-old boy who was walking to school.
 
The complaint says Thomas told investigators he is already seeking treatment.
