Criminal vs. Civil Sexual Abuse Cases
After abuse by a priest like Father Albert Mligo, Michigan survivors have two legal avenues to consider. The criminal system punishes offenders through prosecution by the state. The civil system lets survivors seek money damages directly. Either option can move forward on its own.
In a civil case, a survivor may sue Father Albert Mligo personally, and if he has died, his estate, as well as the diocese or religious order that employed him. Institutions can be held liable when they knew or should have known about the danger, failed to prevent the abuse, covered it up, or screened and trained priests poorly. Recoverable damages can include medical and therapy costs, pain and suffering, and emotional distress.
Statute of Limitations on Clergy Sexual Abuse Cases in Michigan
Time limits matter for survivors of Father Albert Mligo, and Michigan’s are specific. Michigan Legislature §600.5805 gives survivors of childhood sexual abuse ten years, or until age 28, to file a civil case. On the criminal side, there is no statute of limitations for first-degree criminal sexual conduct.
Many survivors of clergy like Father Albert Mligo do not come forward for years or decades. Trauma can bury memories, and shame or fear can silence victims well into adulthood. Michigan courts and lawmakers recognize this reality, which is why the extended civil window exists, and why speaking with a lawyer promptly still matters.
