ST. PAUL —
High-ranking church officials downplayed or ignored reports of a
predatory priest and protected clergy at the expense of children,
leading to the abuse of at least three young victims, according to
criminal charges filed Friday against the Archdiocese of St. Paul and
Minneapolis.
The six gross misdemeanor counts are the result of a 20-month investigation, which continues, according to Ramsey County Attorney John Choi. They relate to how archdiocesan officials handled the case of the Rev. Curtis Wehmeyer, who was convicted in 2013 of molesting boys but had been flagged for inappropriate behavior years earlier.
