Michigan Attorney General Mike Cox Arrests Plymouth Township Internet Sexual Predator
20 February 2006 Attorney General Mike Cox announced today the arrest of Christopher Twichell of Plymouth Township, for Child Sexually Abusive Material -- Producing and/or Making.
"Preying on Michigan's children is a heinous crime," said Cox. "Catching child pornographers and sexual predators has been an important focus of my office. We will continue to track down those who seek to harm Michigan's children and keep them off both the streets and the Internet."
Michigan State Police investigators arrested Christopher Twichell, 29, of Plymouth Township, in Plymouth Township on February 17, 2006. Twichell was arraigned February 17, 2006 in the 35th District Court in Plymouth, before Judge John McDonald, on 4 counts of Child Sexually Abusive Material -- Producing and/or Making, a 20-year felony.
Judge McDonald set bond at $100,000 cash or surety, and Twichell will be back in court for a preliminary examination scheduled for March 3, 2006.
A criminal charge is merely an accusation, and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
Since its restructuring, Cox's Child and Public Protection Unit has arrested 81 Internet sexual predators.
