Prosecutor to reconsider pressing charges against retired Wyoming bishop (National Catholic Reporter)

In 2018, the Diocese of Cheyenne announced that Bishop Joseph Hart was guilty of the sexual abuse of minors. Bishop Hart, now 88, was a priest of the Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph (1956-1976), auxiliary bishop of Cheyenne (1976-78), and bishop of Cheyenne (1978-2001). He resigned five years before the typical retirement age of 75 and has denied committing sexual abuse.
