LANSING — A former priest in the Upper Peninsula has been sentenced for the remaining sex abuse charge against him, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel announced.

In April, Nessel announced a plea agreement with Gary Jacobs, who faced charges in both Ontonagon and Dickinson counties.

The Ontonagon sentencing, which happened in May, involved guilty pleas on three counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct (CSC) and one count of second-degree CSC. Jacobs was sentenced to between eight and 15 years on each count, which will run concurrently.

Tuesday afternoon before Dickinson County s 41st Circuit Judge Christopher Ninomiya, Jacobs was sentenced to between eight and 15 years for one count of second-degree CSC, which will be served concurrently to the Ontonagon sentence.

“This sentencing in Dickinson County marks the end of more than a year’s worth of work to secure justice for survivors of Mr. Jacobs heinous crimes,” Nessel said. “It is my sincere hope this prison sentence brings some closure to those who trusted him. This case would not have been possible without their courage to speak up and my clergy abuse team s commitment to amplifying those voices in court.”

In addition to prison time, the plea agreement reached in both counties requires Jacobs to complete:

– lifetime sex offender registration related to the CSC 1st degree counts;

– tier II registration on the CSC 2nd degree charge;

– sex offender counseling; and

– lifetime electronic monitoring when released.

Nessel’s clergy abuse team has secured convictions against four individuals thus far.

Last month, former Catholic school music teacher Joseph Comperchio pleaded guilty to sex abuse charges that will result in at least a decade in prison.

Former priests Patrick Casey and Brian Stanley pleaded guilty in their respective cases previously.
