(Cleveland) 76-year-old Luis Barajas was sentenced Tuesday to 15-months in prison for sexually molesting a 15-year-old Westlake girl who was battling cancer. The girl's family, under the impression that Barajas was retired, called upon the defrocked priest to come to their home and offer a blessing for the girl. It was during that encounter that they noticed that Barajas was using the girl's blankets and clothes to conceal what his hands were doing. Barajas had entered a guilty plea to a fourth-degree felony count of gross sexual imposition. He will serve his time at the Lorain Correctional Institution. After serving his sentence behind bars, he'll be on parole for 5-years.
