Church Leaders Will Not Be Charged in Abuse Case

MINNESOTA
KVRR

Officials in the St. Paul and Minneapolis Archdiocese will not be charged over their handling of a St. Paul priest who sexually abused two boys.

Prosecutors say they can’t prove church leaders failed to properly report abuse by the Rev. Curtis Wehmeyer.

Church leaders removed him in 2012 after learning of the allegations involving two brothers.

Internal church documents showed archdiocese leaders knew well before then that Wehmeyer had issues with sexual misconduct.
