A Twin Cities priest acquitted of sexual misconduct last year wants the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis to reimburse him for more than $46,000 in legal costs.

In December, a jury found the Rev. Mark Huberty not guilty of two counts of sexual misconduct. He had been charged with having a sexual relationship with a woman with whom he also had a pastoral relationship.

In a claim filed in federal bankruptcy court, Huberty, who is still a priest, wrote that he was seeking reimbursement “as a matter of equity.”
