Livonia, Michigan - Web Nightmare, Online Child Sex Charges
05/11/07, WXYZ Channel 7 (on line)
Police say a Livonia man who's been trolling the Internet for at least two years in search of underage girls has been arrested on sex charges involving a 12-year-old. Cops say he found her in an online gaming website.
Yesterday in Livonia, officers from the Michigan State Police, Livonia Police, Monroe County Sheriff and the New Baltimore Police departments* arrested Adam Glenn Schroeder, 19, of Livonia, for Criminal Sexual Conduct (CSC) in both the first and second degrees.
The Wayne County Prosecutor's Office charged Adam Schroeder with five counts of CSC 1st degree and two counts of CSC 2nd degree after the investigation revealed he had met a 12-year-old female from Wayne County and had sex with her.
Adam Schroeder was arraigned in front of Judge Parrott of the 34th District Cout on 5/10/07 on the charges and was given a bond of $200,000 10% cash or surety. The CSC 1st degree charges have a penalty of up to life in prison, and the CSC 2nd degree charges have a penalty of up to 15 years in prison, if convicted.
A Livonia detective assigned to the Michigan State Police Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force, received a telephone tip reporting that the 12-year-old was having sexual relations with a person who claimed to be 19 years old, that she had met online.
The Livonia detective recognized the suspect from a previous investigation two years ago where Adam Schroeder had tried to arrange to meet the detective's undercover 14 year old persona for the purpose of having sex. Although the screen names were different, the detective developed evidence that they were in fact the same person.
