A former Cardinal from Washington, D.C. is facing sex crimes charges in Walworth County for a decades-old abuse claim.
Prosecutors in Elkhorn filed the charges Friday against Theodore McCarrick. He is the former Cardinal of D.C., and is accused of fondling a boy at Geneva Lake back in 1977. McCarrick was first charged with a sex crime back in 2021 in Massachusetts, but the Vatican defrocked him in 2019 after years of complaints about his behavior. McCarrick is 92-years-old, and his lawyers say he is suffering from dementia and not able to stand trial.
