ST. LOUIS -- St. Louis Archbishop Robert Carlson has been deposed in a case involving a priest in the archdiocese.

The archdiocese says in a statement the case is in the hands of the Missouri court system, where the allegations can be sorted out.
The girl's parents filed a lawsuit in July alleging that Carlson knew Jiang was a danger to children. The archdiocese says those allegations are false.
Jiang has been on administrative leave since the allegations against him were announced.
