GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — A Grand Rapids Catholic Central High School student facing multiple sexual assault charges appeared in court Monday.
Cameron Cross, 17, was arraigned Monday on assault with intent to commit sexual penetration, third-degree criminal sexual conduct and two counts of fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct. If convicted, he faces up to 15 years in prison. His bond was set at $50,000.
At least two 15-year-old girls allege Cross forced himself on them at the school. He was arrested in the Grand Rapids Catholic Central High School’s parking lot Friday.
