During the investigation, police also discovered evidence involving children, including what appeared to be Bank with some of those children in various compromised positions and acts.
"These are deeply disturbing allegations against Mr. Bank," said West Bloomfield Police Department Chief Dale Young.
Chief Young added, "when a child says something to their parent or to another adult, we should believe them right away and we should ... give them the best opportunity to get the help that they need."
Police believe there could be more victims. If you have any information, please contact West Bloomfield police at 248-975-8981.
