“For too long, sexual assault and abuse have been surrounded by silence,” Nessel said. “This investigation aims to shatter that silence, empowering survivors to speak their truth. My department is committed to ensuring that every case of sexual abuse and assault is thoroughly reviewed and investigated in an effort to pursue justice for victims.”
Out of 11 criminal cases throughout the state of Michigan, two of the cases were related to priests ministering in the Diocese of Kalamazoo.
