Ex-Cardinal McCarrick Faces Second Sexual Assault Charge in Wisconsin
TL;DR Summary
Theodore McCarrick, the former Catholic cardinal expelled by Pope Francis in 2019, has been charged with fourth-degree sexual assault in Wisconsin, marking the second criminal complaint against him. The charge stems from an accusation dating back to 1977, where he allegedly assaulted a 19-year-old at a home on Geneva Lake in southern Wisconsin. Mr. McCarrick also faces charges in Massachusetts over an accusation that he sexually assaulted a teenage boy at a wedding reception at Wellesley College in 1974. He is the first and only cardinal to be criminally charged in the sex abuse scandal that has consumed the Catholic Church.
