One of the two men Cheyenne police are recommending be charged related to clergy sex abuse decades ago was an “altar server,” while the other was a member of the Catholic clergy in Wyoming, the Diocese of Cheyenne said in a statement that was confirmed by police.

The diocese declined to name either suspect, whom police said Wednesday they’re recommending be charged in relation to sexual abuse of boys in the 1970s and 1980s. Police also have declined to name the men or provide any details about their identity, citing state statute.
