Court documents say the Rev. Curtis Wehmeyer kept 17 pornographic images of boys in the rectory.
A priest who had been charged with criminal sexual misconduct has been charged again with 17 counts of possessing child pornography, Ramsey County authorities said Tuesday.
The Rev. Curtis Wehmeyer, 48, of Oakdale, was removed as pastor of Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church in St. Paul in June amid an investigation into child sex assault.
During the summer of 2010, Wehmeyer allegedly brought two young brothers to his camper trailer, parked in the lot of the church, and showed the boys, then 12 and 14, pornographic movies. He gave them alcohol and marijuana as he allegedly molested one and exposed himself to the other, according to the complaint filed in late September.
After he was arrested in June at the church rectory, Wehmeyer saw the boys’ mother and told her that he intended to plead guilty.
