Criminal charges against the St. Paul-Minneapolis archdiocese were
dropped Wednesday after it agreed to a revision of its civil settlement
that added "direct and public admission of wrongdoing" for its role in
the sexual abuse of three minors by a former priest.
The charges, brought last summer by Ramsey County Attorney John Choi, alleged a "failure to protect children" on the part of the archdiocese in relation to three minors sexually abused in 2010 by former priest Curtis Wehmeyer. In court Wednesday, Ramsey County District Judge Teresa Warner accepted an amendment to the civil agreement, originally reached in December, that added several new requirements and also inserted an admission of wrongdoing.
