Chatfield under criminal investigation for allegedly molesting a teenager [View all]
Alleged victim was the ex-House speaker’s future sister-in-law
THURSDAY, Jan. 6 — The sister-in-law of former Michigan House Speaker Lee Chatfield has filed a criminal complaint against him with the Lansing Police Department for allegedly sexually assaulting her beginning when she was a teenager attending his church and the associated Christian school.
A city spokesman said today that the city has transferred the matter to the Michigan State Police for investigation.
The woman, now 27, alleges the sexual assaults began when she was “15,” and attending Northern Michigan Baptist Bible Church and the Northern Michigan Christian Academy School, said her attorney, Jamie White, of the White Law Firm in Lansing. Chatfield’s father, Rusty, is the pastor of the church and the administrator for the school. The alleged sexual exploitation continued until July 2021. City Pulse does not identify the victims of sexual assault without their permission.
Chatfield, 33, is one of seven children of Rusty and Betty Chatfield.
