ALPENA COUNTY — Michigan State Police said Friday that an Alpena man has been charged with sex crimes against a victim under 13.
In September 2023, a trooper from the Michigan State Police Alpena Post responded to a report of an alleged sexual assault at a residence in Alpena Township.
The trooper spoke to the parent and other family members concerning the assault that occurred earlier that day, troopers reported. The victim was then interviewed at the Child Advocacy Center in Northern Michigan.
