Ex-lawyer charged with sexual assault of boy at private hunting camp
CADILLAC, Mich. (AP) — A 62-year-old man who formerly worked as a lawyer in the Lansing area is facing charges he sexually assaulted a boy at a private hunting camp last fall.
David James Anderson was charged Friday with two counts of second-degree criminal sexual conduct. He has since been released from jail on a $15,000 bond.
Anderson is accused of assaulting a boy under the age of 13 in Mason County last November. His attorney, Frank Reynolds, says the alleged incident took place at a hunting camp Anderson owns with three other men in Sherman Township.
Reynolds declined to comment about his client’s defense, but tells the Lansing State Journal that they’re prepared to go to trial.
He says Anderson recently resigned from the State Bar of Michigan and is no longer practicing.
Anderson is due back in court May 20.
Mother says referee told her to stop breastfeeding in court
LANSING, Mich. (AP) — A mother says she was told to stop breastfeeding her baby during a hearing at a Lansing court, leading to a planned protest by a group of women.
KyLee Dickinson tells the Lansing State Journal that a court referee at the Ingham County Friend of the Court told her to stop nursing her infant on April 30. She says the referee ordered her to leave when the baby started fussing.
About two dozen women planned to breastfeed their babies at the court in protest Thursday.
Chief Circuit Court Judge Janelle Lawless says Dickinson was asked to leave the hearing because her baby was being disruptive, and not because she was nursing.
A Michigan law passed last year gave women the right to breastfeed in areas open to the public.
