Man sentenced for s*xually abusing 13-year-old girl- Michael Shawn Holcomb, a 52-year-old man from Ecorse, Michigan, has been charged with multiple counts related to the sexual assault of a 13-year-old girl.
The charges include six counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct, six counts of third-degree criminal sexual conduct, one count of unlawful imprisonment, one count of assault with intent to do great bodily harm by strangulation, and one count of fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct.
This case has been described by Allen Park Police Chief Christopher Egan as one of the worst he has encountered in his 28 years as a sworn police officer, highlighting the severity of the allegations against Holcomb.

The charges against Holcomb also extend to a home invasion and sexual assault in Dearborn, where two elderly women, aged 85 and 78, were reportedly severely abused and assaulted. Both women were treated for their injuries following the incident.
Prosecutor Kym Worthy has stated that the alleged facts in this case demonstrate Holcomb’s dangerous and predatory behavior, which reportedly knows no bounds. Holcomb is scheduled to return to court on April 1 for a probable cause conference, with a preliminary exam set for April 16. The case underscores the importance of vigilance and the need for justice in addressing such heinous crimes.
