ST. PAUL, Minn. — Maplewood police say they have been investigating allegations of criminal sexual misconduct by a Maplewood priest since May 1.
The Rev. Mark Huberty, pastor of the Church of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Maplewood, has taken a voluntary leave of absence over an allegation he inappropriately touched a woman, which he denies.
Maplewood Deputy Police Chief Dave Kvam said the conduct involving Huberty occurred over an unspecified period of time.
“There’s no safety risk to others and no indication that this would involve more than one victim — at least at this point,” Kvam said.
