A day after Ramsey County announced it wouldn’t charge anyone in the Twin Cities archdiocese for failing to report to police the case of a convicted child molesting priest, one of the priest’s victims has filed a civil lawsuit.
The suit, filed on behalf of a youth identified as Doe 31, names the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis and the priest, the Rev. Curtis Wehmeyer, who served at the Church of the Blessed Sacrament in St. Paul.
The lawsuit alleges the archdiocese knew Wehmeyer posed a risk to children and failed to protect Doe 31, said sexual abuse attorney Jeff Anderson.
