Local law enforcement received accusations of sexual misconduct from two victims, both minors. The suspect, Michael Ronald Goble, was arrested on Saturday, July 13.

Court documents reveal that the victims were “younger than age 13” and that “the specific offenses occurred in November 2021,” said the Toledo Blade.

“Based on the totality of investigation thus far, more victims are believed to exist that have not yet been identified,” the Toledo Blade reported from a police statement.

The Adrian Police Department and the Lenawee County Sheriff’s Office are working together on the case. They have urged the public to contact them directly with any information or to report a crime.

An initial hearing is scheduled for July 18. The presiding judge also scheduled a “probable-cause conference” on July 22 and a “preliminary examination” on July 29.
