NEW ULM — The New Ulm Police Department is investigating allegations of sexual misconduct by an area priest.
The allegations stem from when the Rev. Sam Wagner worked in New Ulm between 2014 and 2016, said Jeff Hohensee, senior investigator with the New Ulm Police Department. Wagner, who Hohensee said was placed on leave by the Diocese of New Ulm, is listed online as a parochial vicar at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Sleepy Eye.
Hohensee said the investigation remains ongoing and no charges have been filed at this time.
