ST. LOUIS, Mo. (KMOX) — St. Louis Archbishop Robert Carlson is scheduled to testify today in a priest abuse case.
The case involves a longtime Carlson associate, Father Joseph Jiang. Jiang is accused of molesting an underage girl in Lincoln County in recent years and accused of attempted witness tampering in the form of a $20,000 check allegedly left on the car on the victim’s family.
Jiang was an Associate Pastor at the Cathedral Basilica and lived in Carlson’s private residence in St. Louis.
Carlson is accused in a separate civil suit of calling the victim’s mother and asking her to give him the check. The archdiocese has denied those allegations
