Five former Catholic priests have been charged in Michigan with criminal sexual conduct amid a monthslong investigation of alleged clergy sexual abuse in the state.
Four of the men were arrested in various locations across the country on Thursday, and Michigan will seek the extradition of a fifth from India, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel said.
