Father Richard Kurtz

A judge has refused to release a priest who is accused of secretly recording hockey players in the locker room at a Detroit school in the late 1990s.

The Rev. Richard Kurtz, formerly of Clarkston, is charged with production, transportation and possession of child pornography. He was recently arrested at a Missouri retreat for wayward priests and returned to Detroit.

Federal Judge Stephen Murphy III refused to grant bond to Kurtz on Thursday, saying he’s a threat to the public.
