GRAND BLANC, MI – The attorney representing the priest under investigation of allegations he inappropriately touched the hands and legs of two students says people should not “rush to judgment” based on past cases.
Ken Coughlin, the priest at Holy Family Catholic School in Grand Blanc, is on administrative leave until the investigation is complete, according to a weekend statement from the Diocese of Lansing.
According to a letter from the school written by Father Jonathan Perrotta posted on the schools website, the alleged incident happened last week at a school assembly. Perrotta will serve as temporary administrator while the investigation is completed, the letter said.
There will be a meeting at 7 p.m. Monday, May 5 for parishioners, according to the letter.
Attorney Frank J. Manley is representing Coughlin.
