Man extradited to Michigan, charged with sexual assault
LANSING, Mich. (WLNS) — James Carter, 62, was extradited to Michigan and arraigned Friday on multiple charges stemming from accusations that he sexually assaulted a minor and accosted her and another victim for immoral purposes in 2008.
He was initially charged in Hillsdale County in August 2011.
Carter formerly resided in Prescott, located in Ogemaw County, but most recently resided in Georgia. He was extradited to Hillsdale County last week by the U.S. Marshals Service as a part of , a collaboration between the U.S. Marshals Service, the Michigan Department of Attorney General, and prosecutors across the country.
The program is intended to track down and extradite those with outstanding sexual assault warrants at a lower cost compared to private extradition services—funded by $1 million from the state.
'Operation Survivor Justice has proven that those who flee criminal allegations cannot evade accountability by crossing state lines,' says Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel.
Carter is charged with one count of first-degree criminal Sexual Conduct, a potential life sentence, and two counts of Accosting a Child for Immoral Purposes, a four-year felony.
His cash bond was set at $100,00. He is scheduled to appear in the 2B District Court in Hillsdale County for a probable cause conference on April 2. at 10:30 a.m.

Nessel files suit against southeast Michigan auto suppliers for several pollution violations
Martindale Beach at Kensington Metropark sits empty as signs announce the beach is closed due to potential hexavalent chromium contamination | Kyle Davidson The Michigan Department of Attorney General on Friday announced it had filed a lawsuit against two Wixom-based automotive supply companies alleging the suppliers had racked up a number of air and water pollution violations. In the suit, Attorney General Dana Nessel alleges Tribar Technologies Inc. and Adept Plastic Finishing Inc. had violated the Michigan Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act on multiple occasions, including Tribar's 2022 discharge of toxic hexavalent chromium into the Huron River through Wixom's Wastewater Treatment Plant. The suit further alleges the companies failed to comply with permitting requirements, and repeatedly violated water and air pollution standards. While the two companies have since closed their Wixom facilities, Nessel's suit argues stormwater laden with PFOS, another contaminant, continues to discharge from the two sites. 'Michigan's environmental laws exist to protect the air we breathe and the water we use from toxic chemicals,' Nessel said in a statement. 'When companies cut corners or violate these protections, my office will use every tool available to hold them accountable and ensure proper cleanup and compliance.' Alongside civil penalties, Nessel aims to require the companies to clean up the contamination. She is also seeking penalties under the Michigan Business Corporation Act, arguing Tribar lacks the necessary certificate of authority to operate in Michigan.
