On Wednesday, Dewon Henderson, a 37 year-old man from Detroit, was sentenced in front of Macomb County Circuit Court Judge Kathryn Viviano for his guilty conviction of Criminal Sexual Conduct.
In December 2021, Henderson sexually assaulted a minor in a hotel in Roseville. Henderson was charged with two counts of Criminal Sexual Conduct in the First Degree (life felony). On Friday, June 16, a Macomb County jury convicted Henderson on all counts after a four-day jury trial by Assistant Prosecutor Lisa Lozen.
On Wednesday, Henderson was sentenced to a mandatory minimum of 25 years to 40 years in the Michigan Department of Corrections. He must register on the Michigan Sex Offender Registry, have lifetime electronic monitoring, and pay fines and costs.
