A Mt. Pleasant man has been arrested in a criminal sexual assault case.
Hayden Ackerman, 19, was arraigned Friday in the 80th District Court in Clare County on one count of first degree criminal sexual conduct, according to a news release from the Clare County Sheriff’s Office.
His bond has been set at $500,000 cash or surety.
Ackerman remains lodged in the Clare County Jail.
He was arrested after a 15-year-old female victim from Farwell identified him as the man who assaulted her while at a home near Farwell.
Police received a report on May 5 of the assault.
In addition, the office reported that the victim and suspect had an “acquaintance relationship” and that he has a “prior history of computer usage for sexual activity”.
According to undersheriff Dwayne Miedzianowski, Ackerman does not have any prior convictions.
