ST. LOUIS (AP) – A 31-year-old St. Louis priest accused of sexually abusing a grade school student has been released on bail.
The Rev. Xiu Hui “Joseph” Jiang is charged with two counts of first-degree statutory sodomy involving a boy younger than 14. He’s accused of sexually abusing a male student at St. Louis Cathedral School. His lawyer has said Jiang denies the allegations.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports Jiang was released on bail Friday from the city jail. Bill Hannegan, a friend of Jiang’s, said another supporter posted the $150,000 bond but declined to identify the person who provided the bail money.
