MUNISING, MI-- The former principal of Munising Baptist School has waived his arraignment in Alger County Circuit Court on criminal sexual conduct charges.
Benjamin David Franklin, 35, was arrested in March and charged with 3rd-degree CSC. He’s accused of having sexual relations with a 16- to 18-year-old female student.
Franklin waived his preliminary hearing Monday and was bound over to circuit court.
Authorities have since charged Franklin with two additional counts of 3rd-degree CSC. A preliminary hearing on those charges is set for July 1 in Alger County District Court.
