Ex-Cardinal McCarrick Is the First U.S. Cardinal to Face Criminal Charges of Sexual Abuse Against Teen (people.com)

 

Former Cardinal Theodore McCarrick has been charged with sexually assaulting a teenage boy at a Massachusetts wedding reception decades ago — making him the first U.S. cardinal to ever be criminally charged with a sexual crime against a minor.

According to The Boston Globe, The Washington Post, and The New York Times, the defrocked McCarrick has been formally charged with three counts of indecent assault and battery on a person over 14 for crimes he is alleged to have committed during the 1970s.

McCarrick, 91, was defrocked by Pope Francis in 2019, after a Vatican investigation determined he had sexually molested adults as well as children during his years as a priest.
