Rev. Donald McGuire SJ will have to go to jail, having lost his appeal in Walworth County (Wis.) court, the Janesville Gazette reports.
The Rev. Donald J. McGuire is in custody and will have to go to the Wisconsin Court of Appeals if he wishes to overturn a conviction on nearly 40-year-old child molestation charges.
Minutes after Walworth County Judge James Carlson denied every defense motion requesting a new trial, McGuire, 77, was arrested on a warrant for a probation violation.
A Wisconsin Department of Corrections spokesperson said McGuire was arrested for failing to comply with requirements of his sex offender registration.

McGuire had not returned information needed to update his registered status, department of corrections spokesman John Dipko said.
McGuire will likely spend at least three days in jail while the violation is investigated. Probation agents could force him to say longer as a punishment for failing to comply with requirements.
