ST. LOUIS • A priest was charged Friday with sexually abusing a boy at a St. Louis Catholic school.
The same priest was previously accused of having improper contact with a teenage girl from Lincoln County, though those charges were later dismissed.
In the new case, prosecutors on Friday charged the Rev. Xiu Hui “Joseph” Jiang, 31, of the 3400 block of Lafayette Avenue in St. Louis, with two felony counts of first-degree statutory sodomy involving a boy younger than 14.
Jiang had sexual contact with a student at the St. Louis Cathedral School in the 4400 block of Maryland Avenue, police said in court documents. The boy told detectives and a forensic interviewer that Jiang had sexual contact with the boy two different times in a school bathroom between July 1, 2011, and Aug. 1, 2012.
