Priest removed for sex abuse now works at center for teens

A Catholic priest removed from churches in metro Detroit after he was accused of sexually abusing a teenager is now the development director of a new Catholic center in Eastpointe he cofounded that counsels pregnant teenagers, prompting calls for him to step down.

The Rev. Kenneth Kaucheck, 69, was banned from public ministry by the Archdiocese of Detroit in 2009 after church officials determined he had sexual misconduct in the 1970s with a 16-year-old girl he was counseling as a priest.

Kaucheck is now a director at the Gianna House Pregnancy and Parenting Residence ...
The website for Gianna House says it "is a sacred sanctuary for its residents ... in an environment imbued with spiritual grace, emotional and social support, and knowledge."

(So he gets caught abusing a teen girl, and goes on to co-found a center for teen girls?)
