ROCKVILLE, MARYLAND - A Catholic priest ordained in Georgia has pleaded guilty today to sexually abusing two brothers in the 1970s while he was a seminary student.<br>
<br>
Wayland Y. Brown pleaded guilty to child abuse and battery charges for performing sexual acts on a then-12-year-old boy and his 13-year-old brother in Gaithersburg, Maryland, between 1974 and 1977. <br>
<br>
Assistant State's Attorney Peter Feeney says five other men have come forward recently to accuse Brown of abusing them as boys in the 1970s. <br>
<br>
One was an altar boy at a Prince George's County church, and two are from Georgia. The fifth was allegedly molested while visiting Disney World with Brown. <br>
<br>
But Feeney says the statute of limitations on the alleged crimes has run out in Florida and Georgia, meaning he can't be prosecuted in those states.
