Man Sentenced To Prison
POSTED: Tuesday, December 13, 2005
An ice cream truck driver who was arrested last summer for showing pornographic images to young girls in Macomb Township was sentenced to prison Tuesday.
Michael Wesley Cain (pictured, right), of Detroit, was charged with two counts of accosting children for immoral purposes and two counts of exhibiting obscenity to children, according to the Macomb County Sheriff's Department.
Macomb County Sheriff Mark Hackel said his deputies were called to the area of 21 Mile and Garfield roads on a report of the ice cream truck driver showing pornographic images to young girls. The driver was accused of showing nude photographs of himself on his cell phone to the children, and asked the girls to kiss each other so he could photograph them, the sheriff's department said.
The girls were offered free ice cream if they complied with the man's requests, according to the sheriff's department. They told authorities that the incident had occurred before.
Additional deputies were informed of the incident and the truck was discovered a few days later in the area of 21 Mile and Tilch roads, the sheriff's department said. The driver was identified as Cain and was confronted about the allegations.
Cain allowed deputies to search his cell phone, and they discovered naked photographs of the man, which were consistent with information from witnesses, the sheriff's department said.
Cain pleaded guilty to the charges, according to Local 4. He was sentenced in Macomb County Circuit Court to one to eight years at the Michigan Department of Corrections, with 86 days credit, according to Local 4.
