A Pewaukee priest has been charged with sexually assaulting a
13-year-old girl who claimed the Rev. Charles Hanel groped her over her
shirt in December during confession.
A criminal complaint filed in Waukesha County charges the Rev. Charles Hanel with second-degree sexual assault of a child.
Hanel is the pastor at Queen of Apostles Church and was placed on
administrative leave earlier this year after allegations surfaced that
he had inappropriate contact with a minor.
Hanel's attorney,
Jerome Buting, said his client has never, and would never, do what he is
accused of in the criminal complaint. Buting said the one-sided
complaint is only part of the story and that they look forward to
clearing Hanel's name and reputation.
