MARQUETTE, MI— A former Ishpeming Police officer accused of giving a girl alcohol, then sexually assaulting her, is headed to trial.
Travis Hardwicke is charged with first-degree criminal sexual conduct-personal injury and selling/furnishing alcohol to a minor. He was originally charged with third-degree CSC, but it was upgraded after the 17-year-old alleged victim testified at Hardwicke’s preliminary hearing in June.
Hardwicke was fired from the IPD after a Michigan State Police investigation.
A pretrial hearing is set for March 17, 2025. A jury trial is scheduled for April 29, 2025.
