OTTAWA COUNTY, Mich. (WOOD) — A youth minister at two parishes in West Michigan has been arrested and charged with criminal sexual conduct with a young person, according to a statement from the Roman Catholic Diocese of Grand Rapids.
William Miller, 61, was serving as a part-time youth minister at St. Catherine Parish in Ravenna, which is in Muskegon County and St. Francis Xavier Parish in Conklin, which is in Ottawa County.
He was arrested on October 28 and arraigned the following day on one count of first degree criminal sexual conduct.
The charges stem from an incident believed to have occurred about 10 years ago, away from church property and unrelated to church activities, the statement from the diocese read. It’s unclear how old the victim was at the time of the alleged incident.
