COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) – A Coldwater man entered no contest pleas to three charges on Monday in Branch County Circuit Court for sex crimes involving underage girls.
31-year-old Michael Robert Cunkle entered the pleas to two counts of accosting children for immoral purposes and one count of indecent exposure.
Charges of second degree criminal sexual conduct and aggravated indecent exposure are being dismissed by prosecutors in exchange for Cunkle’s pleas.
He is scheduled to be sentenced on June 15.
Cunkle was charged in February following a Branch County Sheriff’s Department investigation which started in August 2019.
Court documents indicate the three alleged victims in the case were under the age of 12.
Cunkle is being held in the Branch County Jail on a $50,000 bond.
