HILLSDALE — A Hillsdale man was arraigned Friday, Feb. 2, in the 2B District Court on three criminal sexual conduct allegations and for sexting a minor.
Chad Alan Porter, 37, appeared in court via video teleconference from the Hillsdale County Jail Feb. 2 when he was read a criminal complaint charging him with first-degree criminal sexual conduct, a life offense, and two counts of second-degree criminal sexual conduct, both 15 year felonies.
All three criminal sexual conduct allegations reportedly occurred between June 1, 2017 and Aug. 31, 2017.
Porter was arraigned in a second case stemming from Aug. 1, 2023 when he allegedly sent a 15-year-old female an explicit photograph of himself.
In the second case, Porter was charged with distributing sexually explicit material to a minor and using a computer to commit a crime.
Judge Megan Stiverson set bond in the first file at $100,000 cash and, in the second file, at $10,000 with 10-percent allowed.
