GRAND HAVEN, Mich. -- A 23-year-old classroom assistant at Lakeshore Middle School has been charged with accosting a child for immoral purposes.
According to a release from Grand Haven Public Safety, Dominic Anthony Ciccantelli was charged with the four-year felony in 58th District Court Tuesday afternoon. Officials say he was arrested Monday following an investigation into his conduct with at least one student at Lakeshore Middle School.
