The judge dismissed charges accusing Theodore McCarrick of sexually assaulting a teenage boy in Massachusetts decades ago.
Former Roman Catholic Cardinal Theodore McCarrick appears for a arraignment at Dedham District Court on Friday, Sept. 3, 2021 in Dedham, Mass. McCarrick pleaded not guilty to sexually assaulting a 16-year-old boy during a wedding reception in Massachusetts nearly 50 years ago.
The once-powerful American prelate faced charges that he abused the teenage boy at a wedding reception at Wellesley College in 1974. Without being able to remember discussions, he could not participate with his lawyers in his defense, she said. At that time, lawyers said McCarrick had a “limited understanding” of the criminal proceedings against him.
“In spite of the criminal court’s decision today,” Garabedian said following Wednesday’s hearing, “many clergy sexual abuse victims feel as though former Cardinal Theodore McCarrick is and will always be the permanent personification of evil within the Catholic Church.”
