Former Detroit police sergeant faces 6th sexual assault case involving 14-year-old girl

A retired Detroit police sergeant accused of leading a double life and raping multiple women over several years is now facing a sixth case involving a 14-year-old girl. Benjamin Wagner, 68, of Greenville, North Carolina, is charged in six kidnapping and criminal sexual assault cases involving attacks between 1999 and 2003 on Detroit’s west side. Prosecutors said the victims were between 14 and 23 years old at the time. The newest charge stems from an Oct. 15, 2002, incident on Trinity Street near Outer Drive, where prosecutors said Wagner approached a 14-year-old girl walking to catch a bus to school, pointed a gun at her, forced her into a secluded area and sexually assaulted her. The victim, now 37, underwent a sexual assault kit examination at the time.
