Hearing for EMU rape defendant adjourned as attorneys huddle
A hearing for a former Eastern Michigan University student charged with sexually assaulting multiple women was adjourned Monday amid ongoing discussions between his attorney and an assistant prosecutor.
Dustyn Michael Durbin, 24, faces 13 criminal sexual assault charges, 10 of them felonies, court records show. An assistant prosecutor and Durbin s defense attorney, David Goldstein, both told Judge Carol Kuhnke there are ongoing discussions regarding his case. We have made an offer, assistant prosecutor Christina Hines told Kuhnke.
Nothing was placed on the court record Monday but the remarks implied some form of a plea agreement could be in the works. Goldstein told Kuhnke he needed more time for discussions with his client and on Goldstein s request, Kuhnke adjourned Durbin s next hearing until May 24 before Judge Patrick Conlin.
