Prosecutors have charged the former pastor of Church of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Maplewood with an additional count of criminal sexual conduct.
Mark Andrew Huberty, 43, was charged Friday with fifth-degree criminal sexual conduct, a gross misdemeanor. A Nov. 19 charge of felony fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct stands.
The updated criminal complaint contains the same description of alleged events, and concerns the same alleged adult victim, with two changes:
During a visit to the woman’s home Jan. 7, 2013, Huberty fondled her buttocks “without the victim’s consent,” the complaint said. On other occasions, the woman “agreed” to touch the priest sexually, the complaint said.
