(LANSING) – A former Michigan resident, who has been living in Georgia, has been returned to Michigan to face charges in a 2008 incident.

Attorney General Dana Nessel says 62 year old James Carter, formally of Prescott, Michigan, was returned to the Wolverine State on March 21. He was arraigned in Hillsdale County District Court on a charge of first degree criminal sexual conduct and two counts of accosting a child for immoral purposes.

Carter is accused of sexually assaulting a minor and accosting her, along with another victim, for immoral purposes in 2008. He was initially charged by the Hillsdale County Prosecutor’s Office in August 2011.

Carter was extradited back to Michigan by the U.S. Marshals Service as part of Operation Survivor Justice. Extraditions through the program were funded last year by a $1 million State appropriation. Operation Survivor Justice is a partnership between the Michigan Department of Attorney General; local county prosecutors and the U.S. Marshals Service to locate, apprehend and return to Michigan fugitive offenders with outstanding sexual assault warrants.

Carter’s bond was set at $100,000. He is scheduled to have a probable cause conference on April 2 at 10:30 AM.
