(COLDWATER) – A LaGrange, Indiana man has been sentenced for crimes committed in Southern Michigan.
Branch County Circuit Court personnel say 54 year old David Michael Miller, formerly of Coldwater, was sentenced Monday based on a plea agreement from February 3. At that time, Miller plead no contest to two counts of third degree criminal sexual conduct, along with charges of fourth degree criminal sexual conduct and gross indecency between males.
With the plea agreement, the Branch County Prosecutor’s Office dismissed another case file with five other charges.
Miller will serve concurrent sentences of 75 months to 15 years on the third degree CSC charges; 39 months to 5 years on the gross indecency charge and 16 months to 2 years on the fourth degree CSC.
Miller will also be required to register as a Michigan Sex Offender for the remainder of his life.
Miller, who is also known as Michael Robert Rottenstein, was arrested following an investigation by the Michigan State Police. Online court documents show that the two victims were r 11 or 12 when the incidents started. They told troopers that there were many coerced sexual acts by Miller that happened.
Branch County Prosecutor Zach Stempien issued a press release, saying the cases against Miller in both St. Joseph County and LaGrange County have been resolved by pleas.
In the St. Joseph County case Miller plead to two counts of first degree Criminal Sexual Conduct with a minimum of 18 years in prison. His sentence will be concurrent to the Branch County sentences.
Miller plead to a count of rape in LaGrange County with a recommendation of 10 years in prison. The State of Indiana will be looking to have consecutive sentencing to the Michigan sentences.
