OTTAWA COUNTY, Mich. — A Muskegon man was federally charged for the alleged sexual assault of a child in Ottawa County.

Court documents obtained by FOX 17 say a woman reported on December 11, 2023, that Brandon Lee Chase assaulted her relative. Less than a month later on Jan. 2, the woman informed deputies that she found photos and videos in a “locked” Google Drive folder of Chase sexually assaulting the child.

We’re told the child informed deputies the assaults began when they were 11 years old and went on until September 2023.

Chase was arrested on Jan. 16. He faces one count of sexual exploitation of a child on the federal level, among others, according to documents.

The court filing explains Chase was federally charged after explicit videos involving the victim were found on his phone.
