Sommers Schwartz, P.C. of Detroit, MI Monitors Potential Release of Former Priest Gary Jacobs from Prison
Detroit, Michigan – Sommers Schwartz, P.C., a leading law firm based in Detroit, MI, is closely monitoring the potential release of former Catholic Priest Gary Jacobs from prison. Jacobs was convicted of multiple counts of 1st and 2nd-degree criminal sexual conduct and is currently serving an 8-15 year sentence. He is eligible for release from prison sometime between 2026 and 2032.
Following his conviction in 2019, a police hotline was set up, and received multiple tips relating to sexual abuse of minors by Father Jacobs going back to the early 1970s. Victims and family members who came forward reported incidents where Father Jacobs showered and undressed in front of altar boys, touched their genitalia, and reportedly masturbated on at least one occasion.
