Catholic priest goes to trial

MEADE Co.,Ky. (WHAS 11)--A Catholic priest accused of sexually abusing children is set to go on trial in Meade County.

Father Joseph Hemmerle is a Louisville native and former Trinity High School teacher.

The charges stem all the way back to the 1970's when Hemmerle ran a Catholic summer camp.

Someone first brought allegations against Hemmerle back in 2001 but he wasn't charged and was even allowed to keep his ministry.

He was finally charged two years ago when a second person stepped forward.
