In late 2018, Michigan State Police, in conjunction with the Michigan Department of
Attorney General assumed control over the investigation into alleged criminal sexual
conduct committed by Father Vincent DeLorenzo. The investigation was initially
conducted by detectives at the Buxton City Police Department.
Father Vincent DeLorenzo was ordained as a priest in the Catholic Church in 1965.
Between June 1988 and January 2002, DeLorenzo was assigned as pastor of Holy
Redeemer Church, located at 1227 East Bristol Road, Burton, Michigan 48529,
JOHN DOE attended primary school at Holy Redeemer beginning in 1995, when he
was five or six years old, until 2000, when he moved to another school. During this
time, he spent time with DeLorenzo.
DeLorenzo would caress and rub JOHN DOE during blessings. DeLorenzo would later
continue similar touchings in other less visible areas at Holy Redeemer Church.
On many occasions, DeLorenzo reached into JOHN DOE's pants and fondled his
genitalia.
On many occasions, while alone with JOHN DOE, DeLorenzo would first pray and
then insert his finger into JOHN DOE's anus, penetrating him digitally.
In 2002, DeLorenzo admitted to sexually abusing a minor boy in the 1980's. The
Catholic Church placed him on restricted ministry, but still allowed him to remain
within the Catholic Church.
Between 1995 and 1999, Vincent DeLorenzo, being over the age of 16, did engage in
sexual penetration, to-wit: digital-anal penetration, with John Doe, a child under 13
years of age; contrary to MCL 750.520b(1)(a).
