Priest, Formerly of Clarkston, Arrested on Child Porn Charges
By Dave Phillips
A priest who formerly lived in Clarkston has been charged with production, transportation and possession of child pornography. Richard James Kurtz, 69, is accused of surreptitiously videotaping hockey players at University of Detroit Jesuit High School as they changed in the locker room after games in the 1998-1999 hockey season, according to a press release from the office of U.S. Attorney Barbara McQuade. He transferred other child pornographic material from Clarkston to Chicago and possessed other child pornography in Clarkston, the release states. Kurtz was a Jesuit priest and a teacher at U-D Jesuit. He taught chemistry there from 1970-1973, 1978-1983 and 1984-2001. He was arrested in November 2011 for sexual assault on a child by one in a position of trust. That arrest, which occurred while Kurtz was living in Chicago, was a result of an incident that occurred in Douglas County, Colorado, in 2001.
