Wayne County Man Arrested After Trying To Meet 15-Year-Old Girl For Sex: Prosecutor

TRENTON, MI — A 30-year-old Trenton man is facing charges after trying to meet a 15-year-old girl for sex, according to the Macomb County Prosecutor's Office.

Andrew Day was charged with children – accosting for immoral purposes (four-year felony) and computers – using to commit a crime (one-year misdemeanor).

These are the maximum charges available under the law based upon the evidence presented to date, the prosecutor's office said.

Day was placed in jail with a $100,000 bond. If he posts bond, he cannot have contact with minors, no use of the internet, not to be within 1,000 feet of a school, playground, or place where children congregate, cannot leave Michigan, no drugs or alcohol and must submit to random testing.

His next court date is scheduled for Aug. 26.

On July 14, prosecutors said Day messaged an undercover profile identifying as a 15-year-old girl on Reddit. He sent her explicit photos of himself and spoke about explicit activities, prosecutors said.

Last Monday, Day planned to meet the 15-year-old for sex, but was arrested when he arrived at the meeting site, prosecutors said.

Prosecutors did not say exactly where officers arrested Day.

"Our children deserve to grow up safe, free from the threat of predators. My office will use every tool under the law to protect them and hold offenders fully accountable," said Prosecutor Peter J. Lucido said.
