Ex-Cardinal Theodore McCarrick Pleads Not Guilty in Sex Assault Case

Disgraced ex-cardinal Theodore McCarrick pleaded not guilty on Friday to charges that he sexually assaulted a teen in the 1970s, the Washington Post reported.

Demonstrators outside a suburban Massachusetts courthouse shouted “Shame on you!” at the disgraced former Catholic leader, according to the report.

Friday’s court appearance was the first public sighting of the former Catholic archbishop since 2018 when he was hit with sex abuse allegations, the Post said.
