Summary of Case: A Jesuit of the Detroit Province ordained in 1977, Kurtz taught for many years at the Jesuit’s University of Detroit High School. He was quietly removed from his teaching position and his ministry was restricted in April 2001 after allegations surfaced that he had recently sexually assaulted a male minor in Denver, Colorado. The Official Catholic Directory shows that Kurtz subsequently lived in Temperance, MIichigan, in a Jesuit Community at Loyola University of Chicago and at the Colombiere Center in Clarkston, Michigan. The Jesuits maintain that they notified civil authorities in Detroit in 2001; Kurtz wasn’t arrested until November 2011.
