MONROE -- A man accused of sexually assaulting several people -- including a 7-year-old girl -- has been arrested and arraigned.

Shawn Michael Remington, 34, address unknown, is charged in Monroe with multiple counts of criminal sexual conduct, a first-degree felony that could result in life in prison.

The Monroe Police Department received an initial complaint involving the 7-year-old on Aug. 2. The girl reportedly told police that the man is a business associate of her father and that, for the past two years, he sexually assaulted her.

The police department was then contacted by other people who said they were sexually assaulted.

Mr. Remington is scheduled for a preliminary hearing Sept. 27 in 1st District Court with Judge Mark Braunlich.

The suspect was a property maintenance supervisor and was involved with a Boy Scouts organization, police said.

None of the reported victims is associated with the Boy Scouts, officials said.

Police are asking that anyone with information about the case call Monroe police Detective J.D. Wahl at 734-243-7509 or Sgt. John Plath at 734-240-7545.
