The Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office charged the teen with criminal sexual conduct in the third degree (15-year felony).
The prosecutor’s office motioned to waive the case to the Macomb County Circuit Court, where the 17-year-old can be tried as an adult.
His next court date is Monday (Jan. 8) at 8:30 a.m.
“This is a serious crime, and we will treat it as such. We will continue to pursue justice and seek accountability for the victim,” said Macomb County Prosecutor Peter J. Lucido.
