 Lansing, MI – The Michigan Attorney General office announced the arrest of David Andrew Griffith of Edwardsville, Kansas for using the Internet to arrange a sexual encounter with a Michigan minor.
Griffith is scheduled to be arraigned this afternoon at 43rd District Court in Ferndale on one count of Child Sexually Abusive Activity, a 20-year felony; one count of Using the Internet to Commit Child Sexually Abusive Activity, also a 20-year felony; and six counts of Using the Internet to Commit Dissemination of Sexually Explicit Matter to a Minor, a 4-year felony. Parents are encouraged to check their children's "buddy lists" for the screen name(s) Griffith used including "looking4knotie." If they believe their child had contact with Griffith, parents should contact the Attorney General's office at (313) 456-0180. A criminal charge is merely an accusation, and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty. Since its restructuring, Michigan's Child and Public Protection Unit has arrested 132 Internet sexual predators. Attorney General Mike Cox encourages parents to visit www.michigan.gov/ag for tips on safe Internet usage for children. Citizens can also report suspected Internet child predators via the Report Internet Abuses Against Children link, or by calling the Child and Public Protection Unit at (313) 456-0180. |
