Prosecutor Kym Worthy has charged Michael Shawn Holcomb, 52, of Ecorse, in connection with the sexual assault of a 13-year-old Allen Park girl.

On March 17, 2024, at approximately 8:00 a.m., at a residence on Meyer Avenue in Allen Park, it is alleged that Defendant Holcomb physically and sexually assaulted the 13-year-old victim, before fleeing the scene. The defendant was arrested by the Dearborn Police Department later the same day. More specific facts and evidence will be introduced at the preliminary examination in the case.

Michael Shawn Holcomb has been charged by the Wayne County Prosecutor's Office with six counts of Criminal Sexual Conduct - First Degree, six counts of Criminal Sexual Conduct - Third Degree, one count of Unlawful Imprisonment, one count of Assault with Intent to do Great Bodily Harm by Strangulation, and one count of Criminal Sexual Conduct - Fourth Degree.*

"The alleged facts in this case will show that this defendant is a dangerous person whose predatory behavior seems to know no bounds," said Prosecutor Kym Worthy.

"This is one of the worst cases I've seen as a sworn police officer for over 28 years, however, I have full faith in our Detective Bureau and the Wayne County Prosecutor to find justice for these victims," said Allen Park Police Chief Christopher Egan.

He was arraigned and remanded to jail this morning in 24th District Court before Judge Richard Page. The Probable Cause Conference is scheduled for April 1, 2024, at 10:30 a.m., before Judge Richard Page, and the Preliminary Examination is scheduled for April 16, 2024, at 9:00 a.m., before Judge John Courtright. Please request a photograph of the defendant from the Allen Park Police Department.

*The charges are allegations and defendants are presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
