He was initially charged by the Hillsdale County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office in Aug. 2011.
He was arraigned and extradited to Hillsdale County, Mich. in March as part of Operation Survivor Justice.
“Operation Survivor Justice has proven that those who flee criminal allegations cannot evade accountability by crossing state lines,” said Nessel.
