OutCenter Comments on Legal Resolution of Malicious Communication

In February, OutCenter received an abusive voicemail containing offensive and discriminatory language targeting our organization and the LGBTQ+ community we serve.

OutCenter assisted in identifying the caller, leading to an investigation by a Berrien County detective. The caller, CM, was subsequently charged with malicious use of telecommunications services, a misdemeanor offense under Michigan law. On Tuesday, August 5, 2025, CM appeared at the St. Joseph Courthouse for his pretrial hearing, where he entered a guilty plea.
