GRAND BLANC, MI — The police investigation into claims that a Grand Blanc priest inappropriately touched the hands and legs of two students will be been turned over to the Genesee County Prosecutor’s Office for review.
Grand Blanc police Lt. Chris Rhind said Tuesday, May 27, that his department has finished its investigation into the allegations against Holy Family Catholic School priest Ken Coughlin and will forward the results to Genesee County Prosecutor David Leyton to determine if charges will be filed.
Leyton said his office will read the investigative reports before making any decision on whether to charge Coughlin. Leyton said there is no timetable for his office’s decision.
Coughlin’s attorney, Frank J. Manley, said his client has done nothing inappropriate.
“We remain confident that after the prosecutor reviews the case, Father Coughlin will be cleared of any wrongdoing,” Manley said.
