Oakland County Man Busted Trying To Meet 14-Year-Old Girl For Sex
CLINTON TOWNSHIP (WWJ) - A 46-year-old Oakland County man is behind bars after authorities say he tried to meet a 14-year-old girl for sex.
Macomb County Sheriff Anthony Wickersham says the Macomb Area Computer Enforcement Team (MACE) on Wednesday arrested Wayne Johnson of White Lake Township following a sting operation.
MACE Detectives responded to advertisements that Johnson had posted on "a popular website," Wickersham said. Johnson allegedly wrote back, making advances to whom he thought was a 14-year-old girl.
After numerous communications back and forth, the man agreed to drive to a location in Clinton Township to have sex with the teen. When he arrived he was taken into custody.
Johnson was arraigned via video in 41B District Court of Clinton Township on charges of child sexual abusive activity and using a computer to commit a crime.
Bond was set at $50,000 cash or surety.
He remains lodged at the Macomb County Jail until his next court date set for Wednesday, Sept. 9, at 1:30 p.m.
