ST. PAUL, Minn. (KMSP) – Just over a year ago, the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis was criminally charged for failing to protect children from clergy sex abuse. Now, it appears a settlement could be in the works.
According to the Archdiocese, Wednesday morning’s hearing will be a progress report on the steps they’ve taken to keep kids safe from sexual abuse. But there could also be new developments in the criminal charges against them as well.
The Ramsey County Attorney will not say whether a settlement has been reached. But multiple sources tell Fox 9 those talks have been ongoing.
In June 2015, Ramsey County Attorney John Choi filed criminal charges against the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis “to hold it criminally accountable for its failure to protect children.”
