JACKSON, MI – Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette filed 13 criminal sexual conduct charges against a former Jackson Lumen Christi High School priest in Jackson County District Court on Monday, Jan. 12.
James Francis Rapp, 74, faces three counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct and 10 counts of second-degree criminal sexual conduct for crimes he allegedly committed while assigned to Lumen Christi High School from 1980-86, according to a statement from Schuette’s office.
Rapp served as a priest, teacher, maintenance supervisor and wrestling coach during his time at Lumen Christi High School, according to the statement.
Rapp is incarcerated in Oklahoma on multiple felony charges. The investigation into the allegations against Rapp in Jackson began in the spring of 2013 when two men reported the alleged sexual abuse to the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office, according to the statement.
