Church Documents Could Be Released Wednesday

MINNESOTA
WDAY

By Nate Leding, KSTP

Sources tell us that internal church documents could be released as soon as Wednesday regarding what officials knew about priests sexually abusing children.

Ramsey County reached a civil settlement with the Archdiocese in December and ordered them to make changes in how it reports alleged priest abuse.

Those charges came after former priest Curtis Wehmeyer pleaded guilty in 2013 to sexually abusing two brothers.

The documents could tell us what former Archbishop John Nienstedt knew about the abuse by priests under his watch.
