Br. Ralph Wehner
Diocese: Archdiocese of St. Louis MO
Named publicly in a 7/2024 lawsuit filed in St. Louis of sexually abusing an altar boy, ages 13-15, at St. Alban Roe Parish in Wildwood, during 1982-1984. The plaintiff said that Wehner was in charge of the altar boys at the parish, and that he would fondle and grope him as he helped him with his robes. Wehner was found in 2024 to be working as a deacon in the Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph. Suspended pending investigation. Wehner’s accuser dismissed his claim in 12/2024 “for personal reasons.” Wehner remained suspended pending recommendation of its Internal Review Board.

Our Database of Publicly Accused does not state or imply that individuals facing allegations are guilty of a crime or liable for civil claims. The reports contained in the database are merely allegations. The U.S. legal system presumes that a person accused of or charged with a crime is innocent until proven guilty. Similarly, individuals who may be defendants in civil actions are presumed not to be liable for such claims unless a plaintiff proves otherwise. Admissions of guilt or liability are not typically a part of civil or private settlements. For more information, see our posting policy.
