MACOMB TOWNSHIP — The case of a former employee at a local catholic high school is returning to the Macomb County Circuit Court.
Joseph Sturza, a former director of admissions at Austin Catholic High School in Ray Township, and a former youth minister at St. Isidore Catholic Church in Macomb Township, is charged with four felony counts: child sexual abuse activity, accosting a child for immoral purposes, and two counts of using a computer to communicate with a minor in order to commit a crime.
The case was originally bound over to circuit court on July 8, but was remanded to the 42-1 District Court in Romeo later in the summer.
The case was bound back over during a hearing the week of Nov. 24. The next hearing is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. Dec. 14 before Judge Mary Chrzanowski for an arraignment.
