In an April 17 press release, Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul and Walworth County District Attorney Zeke Wiedenfeld announced that former cardinal Theodore McCarrick, age 92, has been charged with one count of Fourth-Degree Sexual Assault. The charge stems from an incident that occurred in April of 1977. The complaint alleges that McCarrick repeatedly abused the victim sexually over time. In 2019, the Vatican defrocked McCarrick because of past sexual misconduct. (See prior posting.)
