The first court hearing in Ramsey County’s criminal case against the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis has been postponed to Oct. 29.
Ramsey County District Judge Teresa Warner issued the order Friday to reschedule next week’s hearing. It’s the third time the hearing has been postponed since the original June 24 court date.
In June, Ramsey County Attorney John Choi charged the archdiocese with “failure to protect children,” stemming from its lack of oversight of former priest Curtis Wehmeyer.
Wehmeyer was found guilty of sexually abusing two boys in 2010, at times plying them with alcohol and showing them pornography. Some of the incidents occurred in a trailer he parked near the Church of the Blessed Sacrament in St. Paul, where he was pastor.
