My old Pastor said if someone confessed a crime to him he would have to turn them in. Different from a catholic confession I imagine though.

I am not aware of anything morally binding a priest to stay quiet or to turn them in, I think it ultimately depends on the individual. I imagine most would not want to turn in someone who is willing to confess their darkest secrets before themself and God.
