(MPR News) Curtis Wehmeyer kept his white 2006 camper parked outside Blessed Sacrament Church in St. Paul where he served for six years, three of them as pastor.
With the shades drawn, Wehmeyer could avoid the obligations of priestly life. He got drunk, smoked pot and looked at child pornography. He also lured to the camper two boys whose mother worked at the parish, plied them with alcohol, turned on pornography and told them to touch themselves. Several times, he touched one of the boys, according to police records.
Jeff Anderson & Associates Note: Reports that institutions knew about misconduct but allowed individuals to remain in positions of authority often become central issues in civil litigation and investigations. These cases often focus on institutional knowledge, reporting procedures, and whether appropriate action was taken to protect children and vulnerable individuals.
