A Marin County man was forced to confront his past, after his name appears on a list of clergy accused of child sexual abuse.

I-Team Reporter Dan Noyes has an extraordinary interview.

This former priest was very forthcoming, answering most of the questions. He’s trying to explain himself-not just to us, but to his family and friends and coworkers.

63-year-old Michael Sintef has a nice home in West Marin, a wife and daughter in college, a job where he’s appreciated.

At a Board of Supervisors meeting in January, Marin County Supervisor Katie Rice told Sintef, “Very well deserved. Thank you for what you do for the community.”
