A Catholic priest who pleaded guilty Thursday to molesting two underage brothers is banned from “ever exercising priestly ministry,” according to a statement from the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis.
The Rev. Curtis C. Wehmeyer will remain a priest, but cannot perform any duties of the church.
Wehmeyer, 48, pleaded guilty in Ramsey County District Court to 20 counts, including one count of second-degree criminal sexual conduct, two counts of fifth-degree criminal sexual conduct and 17 counts of possessing child porn. He did not receive a plea bargain.
His sentencing is scheduled for February.
