In 2014 Charles Appel was “sentenced in federal court to five years imprisonment, to be followed by 10 years of supervised release, on his conviction of receipt of material depicting the sexual exploitation of a minor” (US Justice Department). It is not known whether the diocese took any action to identify possible victims of Appel following his 2014 sentencing.
