The victim in the criminal sex case of former Nativity of Our Lord priest Christopher Wenthe has filed a request for $42,000 in restitution with the court.
The woman, who was 21 when the abuse occurred, did not initially ask for the money from the former St. Paul priest.
But the Ramsey County judge in the case, Margaret Marrinan, suggested at sentencing that it would be appropriate for her to do so.
The judge said she had heard that the victim’s mother had spent a great deal of money for her treatment for an eating disorder – which was exacerbated by Wenthe’s abuse, the victim said during trial.
