Prosecutors will not charge
seven priests and one deacon accused of sexually abusing children
decades ago, but four other cases remain open, Ramsey County Attorney
John Choi said Friday.
Four of the cases were closed by the St. Paul police because the suspect was dead or not identified, or the case was impossible to prove. One of those cases involved two priests. Three other cases, in which the alleged crimes occurred in 1976 or 1977, 1981 and 1984, were declined for prosecution because the statute of limitations has run out.
