LOUISVILLE, Ky. —A former Trinity High School teacher cleared by the Archdiocese of Louisville of a sexual abuse allegation in 2002 is now facing another allegation.

“On May 8, an individual made a report of sexual abuse to the Archdiocese of Louisville. He reported that as a child he had been sexually abused in the 1970s by Father Joseph Hemmerle,” said the archdiocese in a statement.

The accuser in 2002 also reported being sexually abused in the 1970s.
