Missing Michigan Girl Found At Rhode Island Man's Home

(CBS DETROIT/AP) — A 43-year-old Rhode Island man is facing sexual assault charges after police found a 15-year-old Michigan girl who had been reported missing in is home.

Police Lt. Scott Robillard says local officers, acting on information from the Allegan County Sheriff's Office in Michigan, went to the Warwick home of Charles Morancey on Tuesday where they found the girl.

Morancey faces four counts of third-degree sexual assault. He's scheduled to appear in court Wednesday. Online court records did not list a defense attorney.

Authorities say Morancey met the girl on social media and traveled to Michigan to pick her up. She was reported missing by her family on Friday.

The girl's father told WOOD-TV that Morancey is a "professional predator."
