SAGINAW (WJRT) (5/3/2018) – It’s an investigation that has rocked the Catholic Diocese of Saginaw.

After the arrest of Robert DeLand, the diocese released the names of five priests who were removed from the ministry years ago because of suspected sex abuse.

There was actually a police investigation on one of the priests.

A letter sent in 2004 by the lead investigator into claims of sexual abuse in the Catholic Diocese of Saginaw has some church officials questioning his motives.
