TROY, Mo. (AP) — A trial is set to get underway near St. Louis over allegations by a young woman and her family that St. Louis’ archbishop mishandled the case of a priest once charged with molesting her as a teenager.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch (http://bit.ly/2o0nyta ) reports that jury selection was scheduled for Monday in Lincoln County. The 2013 lawsuit alleges Archbishop Robert Carlson knew the Rev. Xiu Hui “Joseph” Jiang was a danger to children before Jiang was charged with sexual misconduct involving the young woman in 2012, when she was 16.
Jiang was added as a defendant in the lawsuit in 2015.
