MACOMB COUNTY — The case of a former employee at a local catholic high school is heading to Macomb County Circuit Court.
Joseph Sturza, a former director of admissions at Austin Catholic High School in Ray Township and a former youth minister at St. Isidore Catholic Church in Macomb Township, is charged with four felony counts: child sexual abuse activity, accosting a child for immoral purposes, and two counts of using a computer to communicate with a minor in order to commit a crime.
On July 8, Sturza and his defense conditionally waived his right to a preliminary exam at district court 42-A District Court in Romeo.
“We appear to have a resolution of this matter that will be entered in at circuit court, but in the event that plea is not entered, then we would ask that this court agree to conditionally waive this matter,” prosecuting attorney William Harding said.
