On Tuesday, March 28, a Macomb County jury convicted Shannon Jones, a 45 year old man from Roseville, on all counts in a criminal sexual conduct case after a four day jury trial conducted by assistant prosecuting attorneys Molly Zappitell and Lisa Lozen.
From September 2018 to December 2018, Shannon Jones lived with the victim’s mother. During that time, the defendant sexually assaulted two minor girls, ages six and eight. Afterwards, the defendant fled to Alabama. The Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office agreed to extradite the defendant in December 2020. The U.S. Marshalls apprehended Jones in Birmingham, Alabama in July 2021 to stand trial in Macomb County.
The Macomb County jury convicted Jones in 35 minutes of five counts of Criminal Sexual Conduct in the First Degree with Person under Thirteen, Defendant over Seventeen (25 year mandatory minimum, up to life felony,) two counts of Criminal Sexual Conduct in the Second Degree Person under Thirteen, Defendant over Seventeen (15 year felony,) and Contributing to the Delinquency of a Minor (93-day misdemeanor.)
Jones will be sentenced on Tuesday, May 2, at 10 a.m. in front of Macomb County Circuit Court Judge Julie Gatti.
“I would like to thank the Roseville Police Department for investigating and the U.S. Marshalls for returning the defendant to stand trial in Macomb County,” said Macomb County Prosecutor Peter J. Lucido.
