A former St. Paul pastor surprised Ramsey County prosecutors and his teen victims Thursday by quickly pleading guilty to 20 charges related to criminal sexual conduct and possession of child pornography.
The Rev. Curtis C. Wehmeyer told Ramsey County District Judge Salvador Rosas that he understood he was getting no deal from prosecutors and would be going to prison when sentenced in February.
He was accused of criminal sexual conduct involving two brothers, ages 14 and 12, two years ago in a camper parked in the lot at Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church in St. Paul.
Wehmeyer, 48, of Oakdale, admitted to one count of second-degree criminal sexual conduct, punishable by up to 25 years in prison and a possible $35,000 fine, as well as two counts of fifth-degree criminal sexual conduct and 17 counts of possessing child pornography.
