Despite calls from the victim and a witness, the bishop of Lansing, Michigan, is refusing to take down an erroneous statement that excuses an abusive priest.

A newly published report on the diocesan records pertaining to British extern priest, Fr. Pat Egan, has exposed the failure of the diocese of Lansing, Michigan, to investigate an abuse allegation dating to the 1990s.

Accompanying the report, Bp. Earl Boyea of the diocese of Lansing issued a statement claiming current allegations have been handled properly, while it was "past diocesan officials [who] did not properly handle a prior case dating back to 1990."

Both the summary of findings, signed by Peter Hurford of Honigman LLP, with the claim they conducted "an investigation of Diocesan records" and the diocesan statement noting it as an "independent external review," show the review was limited to just the diocese's files with no investigation into the accuracy of them.
