ROCKFORD, Mich. — A Rockford man is in custody on suspicions of sexually abusing children.
Michigan State Police (MSP) says 63-year-old Randy Edward Roossien was arrested on charges of sexually abusive activity involving children, possession of child porn, distribution of child porn and using a computer to commit a crime.
We’re told investigation into Roossien’s alleged crimes began when investigators discovered online activity involving the downloading and sharing of child porn.
Roossien was arraigned on the above charges Wednesday, according to MSP. He faces a maximum penalty of 70 years in prison if found guilty of all charges.
