An investigation into the actions of three Mormon missionaries, who allegedly vandalized religious artifacts and took disrespectful photographs behind a Catholic church altar in Colorado, could bring charges.
The Costilla County Sheriff's Office issued a statement Wednesday saying the August 2006 events, which came to light when photographs appeared on the Internet, are being investigated and may lead to criminal prosecution by the district attorney.
"At this time it is known that three males are involved and to what level is yet to be determined," the statement says.
The photographs that sparked the investigation were taken at the Stations of the Cross Shrine in San Luis, a small town in Costilla County.
