A 94-year-old retired La Crosse priest will appear in court June 3 after accusations of sexual assault.
According to the incident report:
On May 15, the victim told La Crosse Public Library security about an incident that took place on May 11. She said it happened at one of the benches behind the library about 5 p.m.
On May 16, library security reported the incident to La Crosse police.
The victim told police the man said his name was Bill and offered her money for sex. He also took her hand and put it on his genitals, and tried to kiss her.
Library staff was able to identify McGarty from security footage because they recognized him from the news.
