Police got a tip earlier this month that several minors were visiting his apartment during the day, according to the reports. Berkley Police then set up an undercover investigation, which led to the initial sexual assault charge filed in Oakland County. The investigation is continuing.  

Berkley Department of Public Safety is asking that any potential witnesses or victims related to this case contact Berkley police at 248-658-3390 or at DB@berkleymi.gov.
