Curtis Wehmeyer

A former Minnesota priest incarcerated for molesting two boys from his St. Paul parish is facing new charges in western Wisconsin.

Curtis Wehmeyer is accused of having sexual contact with a teenager while the boy was unconscious in Chippewa County.

According to the criminal complaint, the boy told investigators Wehmeyer gave him alcohol and marijuana during a 2011 camping trip at Brunet Island State Park in Estella. The alleged victim, who was 17 or 18 at the time, says he went to bed and woke up to find Wehmeyer touching his genitals.

Wehmeyer is currently serving a five-year sentence in the Lino Lakes state prison.

The 50-year-old pleaded guilty in 2012 to criminal sexual conduct involving two brothers when he was pastor of The Church of the Blessed Sacrament on St. Paul's East Side. Wehmeyer also pleaded guilty to possessing child pornography that was found on his laptop.

He was accused of molesting one boy and exposing himself to the other in the summer of 2010.

Wehmeyer was removed from his parish post after church authorities learned of the allegations.
