SAGINAW (WJRT) (5/2/2018) – The man appointed to help the Catholic Diocese of Saginaw deal with abuse claims met with prosecutors on Wednesday.
Michael Talbot said his phone calls and emails to the Saginaw County Prosecutor’s Office have gone unanswered, so he paid a personal visit. Talbot said they vowed to work together.
“It was, I think, productive,” he said.
Bishop Joseph Cistone appointed the now-retired Michigan Court of Appeals judge three weeks ago to help the diocese deal with the alleged sex abuse claims.
Wednesday marked the first time Talbot spoke with Prosecutor John McColgan and Assistant Prosecutor Mark Gaertner, who is leading a task force formed to investigate current and past claims of possible abuse by priests in the diocese.
