Area youth soccer coach sentenced in sexual assault of girl
ROSEVILLE, Mich. (AP) — A former volunteer soccer coach will spend 31 years in prison for molesting a 12-year-old girl at his suburban Detroit home.
WDIV-TV reports that applause broke out Wednesday as Jason Niemasz was led from the courtroom after his sentencing in Macomb County Circuit Court.
Niemasz was charged last year with first-degree criminal sexual conduct.
Police have said they received a complaint from the girl’s parents that she had been assaulted Nov. 14 at Niemasz’s home in Roseville. She was visiting Niemasz’s daughter, who she met playing soccer with the American Youth Soccer Organization in Warren, where he coached.
The television station reports that the assault occurred during a sleepover at the home.
Police: Video shows suspect in Detroit campus cop’s slaying
DETROIT (AP) — Authorities have released a video they say shows a suspect in the slaying of campus police officer at a Detroit university.
Detroit police say the video recorded by a camera on a Detroit Department of Transportation bus shows the suspect running from the scene after 29-year-old Collin Rose was shot near the Wayne State University campus the evening of Nov 22.
Rose was shot in the head after he stopped to investigate a man riding a bike. He died the next day.
Investigators are still asking for tips from the public. The Detroit News reports a reward now exceeds $100,000.
Police previously released pictures of a blue mountain bike that investigators believe was used by the suspect. Charges against a man initially arrested in the case were later dropped.
