Nearly half of the
16 priests identified Tuesday by the New Ulm Diocese to have been
credibly accused of sexual abuse of a minor served in McLeod County. Six
of them were in Winsted.
The names were jointly disclosed by the law firm of Jeff Anderson & Associates and The Diocese of New Ulm. Mike Finnegan of Jeff Anderson & Associates said Thursday the information was released as part of the litigation of two lawsuits filed against the diocese by Lori Stoltz and Kim Schmit. Schmit was sexually assaulted by her parish priest in Willmar in 1968
