MUSKEGON, Mich. (WZZM) -- Michigan State Police are investigating a Muskegon County man who may have molested five to 10 boys he meet through his position as a volunteer church youth leader.

Detectives began investigating Randall Doctor, 60, in August after a man, who is now in his 40s, reported the alleged sexual abuse. The man told detectives he was in his teens at the time.

Doctor was a volunteer youth leader at a church police have not yet identified. He has not been affiliated with the church for 25 years.

When investigators searched Doctors' Muskegon area home looking for possible evidence of the sexual assault, they found a marijuana grow operation. Friday morning Doctor was in court for a hearing on the manufacturing marijuana charge. He has not been charged with sexual assault.

The Muskegon County Prosecutor's Office is waiting for full police reports from MSP detectives on the alleged sexual assault before deciding if Doctor will face additional criminal charges. He is being held in the Muskegon County Jail.

Detectives believe other teens affiliated with the church where Doctor volunteered may have be molested in the 1970s and 1980s. They ask anyone with information to call Michigan State Police Rockford Post at (616) 866-4411.
