The Detroit Catholic Church says an allegation that a priest who died in 1994 sexually abused a child has been found to be credible.
The archdiocese says in a statement that the complaint against Monsignor Thaddeus Ozog was brought to a review board and given to prosecutors.
Ozog served at parishes in Detroit, Birmingham, Wayne, Waterford, Flat Rock and Hamtramck after being ordained in 1956, and served in churches thru 1994, when he died.
It is unknown if the allegation against Ozog was found in documents turned over by Roman Catholic dioceses across Michigan in a state investigation of sexual abuse by priests.
