DETROIT (WXYZ) – Father Kenneth Kaucheck was forced to resign from the priesthood 7 years ago over a decades old allegation of sexual misconduct.
He was accused of carrying on a relationship with a 16-year-old girl he was counseling at a Clawson parish back in 1976.
The Archdiocese of Detroit barred Kaucheck from public ministry.
While the teen was of age in 1976—and thus—the priest never charged with a crime, it still violated church protocol and raised concerns.
Paula Schnoblen is with the Macomb County based group Turning Point, which advocates for victims of domestic and sexual abuse.
