(NEWSCHANNEL 3) – Documents show a priest linked to sexual abuse in Illinois also served here in West Michigan.

Former priest Michael Weston was at one time the Chaplain for Western Michigan University and Kalamazoo Valley College.

He was transferred to West Michigan after serious allegations were made against him in Illinois.

In documents released Tuesday by victims’ attorneys, one claimed Weston sexually assaulted him, saying Weston massaged him and touched him while the two were naked.

According to the documents church leaders did nothing when the allegations were brought forward.
