MOUNT CLEMENS, Mich. – A former Shelby Township priest has been resentenced for sexually assaulting a 14-year-old in 1984.
Neil Kalina was convicted of second-degree criminal sexual conduct in 2022 and was sentenced to 7-15 years behind bars. The Court of Appeals ordered a resentencing in 2024 due to a technical error, claiming the consideration of acquitted conduct had impacted the calculation of his sentencing.
