The pastor of Holy Cross Catholic Church in Batavia has been charged with misdemeanor public indecency, accused of exposing himself to a worker and customers at a Rockford gas station.
The Winnebago County State’s attorney filed the charges Friday against Monsignor Aaron Brodeski, 44.
The Rockford Diocese put Brodeski on leave April 25, after Winnebago County authorities sent word they were investigating Brodeski.
He was then sent for evaluation and possible treatment “for any difficulties affecting his conduct and ministry,” according to a news release the diocese sent Friday.
