Man, 35, Gropes Teen Girl At Oakland County Supermarket: Prosecutor

OAKLAND TOWNSHIP, MI — A 35-year-old man is in trouble after groping a teenager at an Oakland County grocery store, according to prosecutors.

The man was charged with fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct. If convicted, he faces up to two years in jail and/or a $500 fine.

Prosecutors said the incident happened on Aug. 17 at the Oakland Township Kroger. The girl was shopping with her mother when the man touched her stomach and buttocks, prosecutors said.

"The teenaged victim in this case, like all women and girls, is entitled to safety and respect in public places," said Oakland County Prosecutor Karen McDonald. "The defendant’s alleged actions are not just an unwanted touching, they are an assault and a serious crime, and will be treated as such."
