Curtis Carl Wehmeyer, the priest formerly at Blessed Sacrament in St. Paul who admitted to sexually abusing two boys and possessing child pornography, was sentenced Friday, Feb. 1, to five years in prison.

Wehmeyer, 48, of Oakdale, was removed from the parish by archdiocese officials on June 21, after the victims, who are brothers, went to the police.

He pleaded guilty Nov. 8 to all of the charges he faced: one count of second-degree criminal sexual conduct, two counts of fifth-degree criminal sexual conduct and 17 counts of possession of child porn.
