A former priest sentenced for sexual abuse reportedly faces new charges in Michigan.
Jason Sigler (pictured, left) was charged Tuesday with molesting a 13-year-old altar boy at St. Robert's Catholic Church near Flint, Mich., in 1975, Local 4 reported. He is also reportedly charged with molesting the boy's younger brother.
Sigler was sentenced in January to one year in jail and five years of probation after pleading no contest to a reduced charge of second-degree criminal sexual conduct in River Rouge.
Prosecutors said Sigler molested a 12-year-old boy in the 1960s while he served at St. Mary Magdeline's in Hazel Park. The assaults allegedly took place in a River Rouge house.
Sigler voluntarily left the priesthood in 1982.
