Ex-Detroit schools official to stand trial
DETROIT (AP) — Ex-Detroit School Board president Otis Mathis will stand trial on claims he fondled himself during a meeting with the district’s former superintendent.

District Judge Nancy Farmer on Friday bound Mathis over to Wayne County Circuit Court following his preliminary exam.

Gueyser testified she cursed Mathis, called him a “pervert” and left his office after he unzipped the front of his pants during a June 16 meeting.

Mathis resigned from the board June 17. He later wrote to the board that he “made inappropriate actions toward a professional employee” and regretted his actions.

Mathis faces misconduct in office and obscene conduct charges. He remains free on a $50,000 bond and has been ordered not to have contact with children at any school.

An Aug. 13 arraignment is set.
