LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) — A Kentucky priest will go on trial on Monday, almost 15 years after allegations emerged that he sexually abused a child.

Reverend Joseph Hemmerle faces charges of sexual abuse and sodomy. In 2001, a man accused the priest of molesting him when he was younger at a Catholic summer camp in Meade County back in the 1970’s.

Hemmerle ran the boys summer camp there for decades.

In 2014, a second victim came forward, and that’s when Hemmerle was indicted on the charges.
