Head Deacon Of Belleville Catholic Diocese Charged With Sex Crime

The Deacon Coordinator for the Catholic Diocese of Belleville was arraigned Friday on criminal sexual assault charges.

A grand jury indicted Robert Lanter, of Swansea, on April 12. Lanter entered a plea of not guilty Friday.

The charges state the victim was a 29-year-old woman who could not give consent.

Monsignor John Myler said Lanter gave his resignation to Bishop Edward Braxton on Thursday.
