ST. LOUIS (MO)

St. Louis (KMOX) St Louis Archbishop Robert Carlson is responding to the controversy surrounding his recent statements regarding child sexual abuse.
Carlson issued a video and a statement tonight (Friday) regarding the comments he made during a deposition last month as part of a sexual abuse lawsuit.
Carlson now says he misunderstood a series of questions when he stated he was unsure if he was legally obligated to report sexual abuse to police.
Carlson says he wants to clarify that he “fully understands-and has understood his entire adult life-that sexual abuse is a grave evil and a criminal offense.”
