Five months after being indicted, a former priest appeared in court for his arraignment.
Edwin Scherzer, 79, pleaded not guilty to sexually abusing four children. The alleged abuse happened in the 1950s and 60s when the children attended the old St. Edwards Church in Jeffersontown.
“I'm doing this because I am an adult now, I’m no longer a child, I don't have to live with the guilt and the shame,” says alleged victim Tom Weiter. “I did nothing wrong.”
