COLDATER, MI (WTVB) – A Coldwater man was sent to the Michigan Department of Corrections on Monday morning in Branch County Circuit Court after he entered no contest pleas to two charges of second degree criminal sexual conduct.
67-year-old Clarence Brouse was ordered to serve concurrent sentences of between 14 months and 15 years. He was given credit for 211 days already served in the Branch County Jail.
Brouse must also comply with the Michigan Sex Offender registry.
In exchange for his plea, prosecutors dismissed the habitual offender enhancement in both case files.
One of the charges was for a crime involving a child under the age of 13.
Who is reasonable for these asinine pleas and super light sentences? They need to be replaced asap!
