A Hugo man remembered this week that he had copied files from the Rev. Jonathan Shelley’s hard drive and put them in his safe.
So, on Friday, nine years after he gave to the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis the hard drive containing pornographic images, Joe Ternus turned over the evidence to St. Paul police.
“I called Sgt. (William) Gillet, and he got back to me today, and he came up and took possession of those this afternoon,” Ternus said.
Police spokesman Howie Padilla confirmed that “an individual did give us new information” Friday afternoon.
“Whether that new information warrants reopening that investigation remains to be determined,” Padilla said.
