A former Wichita priest is cleared after the District Attorney decides not to file sexual assault charges against him.

Police investigated Father Nicholas Voelker after a woman claimed he sexually assaulted her. Peggy Warren came forward with the claim last week. She said she wanted to help other woman who had been abused.

The Wichita Catholic Diocese said the relationship between Voelker and Warren was consensual.
