VAN BUREN COUNTY, Mich. — A Paw Paw man was arrested and charged for numerous rape allegations.

Michigan State Police (MSP) says 18-year-old Christian Andreas Crane was arraigned Monday on four counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct, followed by an additional charge Tuesday for third-degree criminal sexual conduct in an unrelated case involving a 13–15-year-old victim.

Troopers ask other potential victims of Crane to connect with MSP, OK2SAY or 911.
