SAGINAW, MI — In the late 1990s, a teenage German citizen living in Saginaw told authorities a male member of her household was sexually abusing her. As a result, she wound up in foster care for years, separated from her family while no criminal charges were filed against the man she said violated her.
The experience soured her belief in the justice system.
Decades on, the now-38-year-old woman took to the witness stand in a hearing for the man she said abused her, who is now charged with several felonies.
