A St. Louis priest is on trial this week for allegedly molesting a Colorado child. He is Fr. Robert Charles Manning, who reportedly abused the child, gave him booze, pot cigarettes and expensive gifts (including jewelry, watches and a $3,000 car), took him to get his nipples pierced and made him a beneficiary in the cleric’s will. Manning now lives in St. Louis. He worked in the St. Louis Archdiocese, at parishes in Bridgeton, Glencoe and Imperial. Manning went to Colorado Springs a few years ago after St. Louis Bishop Michael Sheridan took over there.
