A woman’s own investigation into a priest she says sexually harassed her at a church in Fenton has prompted more calls for Lansing Bishop Earl Boyea to resign from his position.
In an open letter released Thursday, the woman also asks for the resignation of Lisa Kutas, who is the director of Human Resources for the Diocese of Lansing.
The woman, who wishes to remain anonymous, is a parishioner at St. John the Evangelist in Fenton. She said she has been an active member of the church for several years.
Veracity is not naming her because she is a victim of sexual harassment. She also fears retaliation against her family.
The woman filed a sexual harassment complaint against Father Mathew Joseph in August 2018. She sent three letters to Bishop Boyea.
