MUSKEGON, Mich. (WOOD) — A Muskegon County man is accused of sexually assaulting several boys three decades ago.

A 24 Hour News 8 crew was in court Friday morning as 60-year-old Randall Doctor was brought in.

24 Hour News 8’s sources say Doctor met his alleged victims as the leader of the Cadets program at Fifth Reformed Church. He may have molested anywhere from five to 10 boys in the 1970s and 1980s.

Doctor is not currently facing sexual assault charges — but rather manufacturing marijuana charges. As police executed a search warrant in the sexual assault investigation, they found pot plants at Doctor’s home.

Doctor’s defense attorney told 24 Hour News 8 his client cannot be charged with the alleged sexual assaults because the statute of limitations has run out.
