Lenox Township man accused of drugging, sexually assaulting woman he met on dating app
Charles Fouts Jr., 67, of Lenox Township, is charged with first-degree criminal sexual conduct, using a computer to commit a crime and capturing and distributing an image of an unclothed person.
On July 19, deputies responded to a Fort Gratiot apartment complex after a woman came to a neighbor's residence disoriented and saying that she had been drugged and sexually assaulted, according to the St. Clair County Sheriff's Office. The victim was taken to an area hospital for treatment.
Deputies later discovered that photos were taken of the victim without her knowledge and related to the alleged assault.
When investigators arrived at the apartment complex, they found Fouts still at the scene. He was interviewed and arrested.
Fouts was arraigned Tuesday and denied bond.
The sheriff's office believes there may be more victims and is searching for additional ones.
If you believe you or someone you know might have been a victim of Fouts, you're asked to call the Macomb County Sheriff's Office at 810-987-1726.

As Travis Decker manhunt continues, DNA testing confirms he is sole suspect in murders of 3 daughters
While the search for a Washington father accused of killing his three young daughters in June continues, DNA testing has confirmed he is the only suspect in the murders, police said. Travis Decker's DNA was found on plastic bags that were found over the girls' heads as well as cable ties found near their bodies, according to the Washington State Crime Lab, the Chelan County Sheriff's Office said in a news release Monday. DNA matching 9-year-old Paityn, 8-year-old Evelyn and 5-year-old Olivia also was found on the bags, but no other profiles were detected, the sheriff's office said. No other DNA profiles were found on the cable ties, they said. "The completion of this DNA analysis provides additional evidence that indicates Travis Decker is the only suspect involved in committing these homicides," the news release said. The bodies of the girls and Decker's truck were found on June 2 near a campground in central Washington. Decker had not returned the girls to their mother on time after a planned visit and was not answering calls, she told police. A search for Decker, a former Army soldier, has been ongoing since then. "At this time, we do not have any evidence to suggest Travis Decker is either alive or deceased," the sheriff's office said Monday. Multiple photos and video of Decker prior to the murders have been shared by police, as well as renderings of how his appearance may have changed. A $20,000 reward is being offered for information leading to Decker's arrest. He should be considered armed and dangerous, officials said.
