A former St. Paul priest already facing criminal sexual conduct charges is now accused of possessing child porn. The Ramsey County Attorney's Office says 48-year-old Curtis Carl Wehmeyer of Oakdale faces 17 new charges after investigators found pornography involving prepubescent boys on his laptop.

A criminal complaint filed in Ramsey County District Court says a St. Paul father has been charged with child endangerment after his 9-year-old son shot his 2-year-old brother in the head with a gun left in an unlocked cabinet. The complaint says the older boy pointed the gun -- which he thought was empty -- at the younger boy's head and pulled the trigger.

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.

Charges against Wayzata businessman William Franklin Wanner, who was accused on two counts of second-degree criminal sexual conduct, were dismissed Monday in Hennepin County Court. The dismissal came after the state was presented with an affidavit where the alleged victim, who was 10 at the time of the allegations, denied that any abuse at the Minneapolis Club had taken place.

In a surprising move, a former St. Paul priest pleaded guilty Thursday to 20 charges relating criminal sexual conduct and possession of child pornography, all while acknowledging he was getting no deal from prosecutors and would be going to prison.

A former priest says officials at St. Johns Abbey in Collegeville were well aware of his inappropriate sexual contact. After St. Johns he went on to abuse members of a boys choir in Missouri. He says some 16 Catholic leaders and a top ranking Episcopalian leader were aware of the problem and chose to do nothing.
