Investigators recently learned Nguyen was trying to re-enter the United States. With help from the FBI, Ann Arbor police took Nguyen into custody Tuesday as he exited a plane at Detroit Metro Airport.
Nguyen is charged with three counts of third-degree criminal sexual assault, each of which carries a maximum penalty of 15 years in prison.
