A once prominent member of a local church was arraigned, Tuesday, after being accused of molesting a young relative.

The 68-year-old former elder of Community of Christ Church in Ann Arbor was accused of sexually abusing a relative when the child was between 7 and 11-years-old.

A former elder from the Community of Christ Church was accused of sexually abusing a young relative.

Police have been investigating for the past two months after the victim, who is now 15-years-old, came forward.

There is concern that once the suspect is arraigned other victims may come forward, but police said they are not aware of any victims from the church.

The suspect, who recently resigned as an elder, lives in Ypsilanti Township.
