Rev. Joseph Jeyapaul allegedly sexually assaulted two underage girls in the Diocese of Crookston eight years ago. The Star Tribune reports the 57-year-old went to India before charges were filed in 2006. Jeyapaul denies the allegations and continues to work with children.

Instead of writing the sort of lighter articles that traditionally greet freshman in the University of Minnesota Duluth's student newspaper, two reporters with The Statesman chose instead to do a series of investigative pieces to bring attention to unreported sexual assault cases among college students.

Todd County authorities have charged two student athletes following claims of sexual assault by their fellow teammates at Browerville High School. Court documents said a number of victims claimed they were assaulted by Seth Kellen and Connor Burns, both 18, as well as an unnamed juvenile teammate, in an alleged incident at Horseshoe Lake last August.

The Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis has removed Curtis Carl Wehmeyer, 47, as a pastor. He was arrested in Oakdale on Friday and released from the Ramsey County Jail on Monday, pending further investigation. He has not been charged. A male juvenile has alleged assaults over a two-year period.

Former Elk River high school English teacher Matthew Ellsworth of St. Paul, who admitted to a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old student, has been sentenced to five years of probation. He told a judge they could not help falling in love. The girl, who has since turned 18, said, "I want everyone to know that this (prosecution) was not my choice. I was not victimized."
