More sex charges filed against priest removed from St. Paul church
A
priest who had been charged with criminal sexual misconduct now faces
17 counts of possessing child pornography, Ramsey County authorities
said Tuesday.
The
Rev. Curtis Wehmeyer, 48, of Oakdale, was removed as pastor of Blessed
Sacrament Catholic Church in St. Paul in June amid an investigation into
child sex assault.
During
the summer of 2010, Wehmeyer allegedly brought two young brothers to
his camper trailer, parked in the lot of the church, and showed the
boys, then 12 and 14, pornographic movies.
He
gave them alcohol and marijuana as he allegedly molested one and
exposed himself to the other, according to the complaint filed in late
September.
“As
the parish priest for this family, the defendant betrayed a sacred
trust and forever marred the innocence of two young victims,” Ramsey
County Attorney John Choi said Tuesday. “We will pursue justice for the
family, as well as the community.”
After
he was arrested in June at the church rectory, Wehmeyer saw the boys'
mother and told her that he intended to plead guilty.
The
complaint filed Monday details pornographic images showing nude
prepubescent boys alone and engaged in sexual acts with each other.
Investigators
allegedly found the videos and photos on the priest's laptop computer,
in a closet in the rectory, while executing a search warrant in July.
Each of the 17 counts is punishable by up to five years in prison and/or a fine of up to $5,000.
The
earlier charges are second-degree criminal sexual conduct and two
counts of gross misdemeanor fifth-degree criminal sexual conduct.
Wehmeyer
was ordained in 2001 and served as associate priest at St. Joseph
Catholic Church in West St. Paul from 2001 to 2006. Since 2006 he had
served at Blessed Sacrament.
The
Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis released a statement after the
September charges were filed, saying it “deeply regrets the pain caused
by clergy misconduct or by others within the Church, and is offering its
support and assistance to all concerned.”
