Sexual assault charges filed against a former Ann Arbor and Jackson area priest accused of regularly molesting an altar boy nearly 30 years ago were dismissed Tuesday.
Citing the dates of the alleged criminal acts, District Court Judge Joseph Burke found that the charges against Timothy Crowley failed to abide by the crime’s then six-year statute of limitations, forcing the court to dismiss all criminal charges at Crowley’s Oct. 1 preliminary examination.
“We all agree on the facts in the case. They’re awful, horrible and abominable, but the law is the law,” Burke said.
