Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel’s investigation into sexual abuse by members of the clergy resulted in Gary Allen Jacobs being formally arraigned late Tuesday in Ontonagon County on two additional criminal sexual conduct cases. Hee allegedly committed the offenses in the 1980s while serving as a priest under the Catholic Diocese of Marquette in the Upper Peninsula.
Jacobs was originally charged in January on seven additional criminal sexual conduct charges in three separate cases that reportedly occurred in Ontonagon and Dickinson counties.
Since January, two new victims came forward making sexual assault reports against Jacobs, 74, now of Albuquerque, N.M. In the two cases, he is charged with three criminal sexual conduct counts stemming from incidents that reportedly occurred between the dates of Jan. 1, 1981 and Dec. 31, 1984 in Ontonagon County.
