During the 2018 deposition hearing, Hoeppner was challenged by attorney Jeff Anderson as to why, despite knowing of Vaseks allegation, he had signed a letter saying that he didnt know of anything that would disqualify Grundhaus from ministry, or make him unsuitable for working with children. Monsignor Foltz, the current vicar general of the diocese, acknowledged during the deposition that he was aware of the report. Anderson asked Hoeppner whether he thought he should go back and ask Monsignor Foltz why he didnt tell you about the psycho/sexual that appears in the file of Richards. Hoeppner responded: I dont know. The released deposition documents also show that Richards had admitted in the 1990s to Hoeppners predecessor, Bishop Balke, and to Monsignor Foltz to having sexually abused a 5 year-old boy when he was 15 years old. In November 2019, deposition documents and videos from 2018 were released showing Hoeppner responding to questions about his handling of Vaseks allegation and where he seems to admit to mishandling the cases of several priests, including one presently in active ministry who told diocesan officials that, as a teenager, he had sexually abused a 5-year-old. The deposition documents and videos became available after a settlement was reached in July 2019, in which $5 million was awarded across 15 sex-abuse lawsuits filed against the diocese, including Vaseks case against the abusing priest, Fr.
When he began to have fantasies about abusing a child and felt an attraction toward children, he decided to voluntarily seek help. Having been presented with the report, Hoeppner was asked by Anderson if the reading of this and seeing this in a psychosexual evaluation caused you to be willing to re-examine his assignment in ministry given this professional assessment and his self-report? She added: ‘Tina will always have a very special place in my heart because that’s my other mother.

Vasek told LifeSite that in addition to the five years of study for the diaconate, he had also been preparing himself spiritually for five years beforehand.

Vasek told Church Militant that Hoeppner then replied to him: If you dont say anything, nobody will know. Despite Vaseks accusation of sexual abuse, Hoeppner signed a letter in 2012 confirming Grundhaus was fit to exercise a public ministry.
