• Man sentenced to 25 years for sexual exploitation (woodtv.com) — A West Michigan man has been sentenced to 25 years in federal prison for sexually exploiting a minor, in a case that investigators at one point linked to Comstock Park as his residence. Authorities say he was ultimately confirmed to be from Baldwin, but his earlier reported tie to Comstock Park makes this case especially relevant for local parents following regional child-safety issues.
