Michigan Man Charged with Human Trafficking and Sexual Assault of Missing Washington Teen

Keith Freerksen, a 30-year-old man with a prior sex crime conviction, is facing 9 charges related to the trafficking and sexual assault of a 14-year-old Washington teenager. He allegedly lured the teen through social media, brought her to his home in South Haven, Michigan, and kept her there for three weeks before being found by authorities. The charges include human trafficking, criminal sexual conduct, and using a computer to commit a crime. Freerksen, deemed a flight risk, was denied bond and is expected to face additional charges in Washington. Authorities urge more victims to come forward and advise parents to be vigilant about their children's online activities.
