Rolla, Mo. —
The Christ Episcopal Church says they have reason to believe Father Joseph Carlo, a beloved priest working at the Rolla congregation for 30 years, committed acts of sexual abuse several children in the church.
According to Rev. Cannon Daniel Smith, who works under the church’s bishop at the Diocese of Missouri, the church recently completed an investigation involving Father Carlo.
“We believe that it (sexual abuse) has occurred,” Smith said.
The church says their internal investigation revealed five victims ranging between 10 and 18 years of age between the years of 1975 and 1985.
