Two Saline brothers are now charged with felonies after one of them allegedly had sex with 14-year-old girls and the other threatened the victims over social media, according to police.
Pittsfield Township police Deputy Chief Gordy Schick would not go into detail about the case, but said the victims are 14-year-old girls.
There are two separate cases. The alleged criminal sexual conduct occurred in June 2014, court records show. It was unclear where in Pittsfield Township the incidents occurred. Charles’ brother, Stephen Slattery, 18, was charged Thursday with witness intimidation, records show. He is free on a $5,000 personal bond.
