MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – St. Paul police met with a top official from the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis Wednesday as part of an ongoing criminal investigation into allegations of sexual abuse by Catholic clergy.
The meeting comes a day after an explosive allegation against Archbishop John Nienstedt, who’s since agreed to step aside until the investigation is complete.
The meeting was also a response to a public claim by St. Paul police that the archdiocese is not cooperating with abuse investigations.
In a brief statement on Twitter, St. Paul police said Wednesday afternoon that officials of the archdiocese answered some police questions and agreed to meet again to answer other questions.
