82-year-old Menominee man sentenced for sexually assaulting family member

KERA News

MENOMINEE, MI— A Menominee man has been sentenced to 7 to 20 years in prison on a charge of first-degree criminal sexual conduct.

Prosecuting Attorney Jeffrey Rogg says last August, a child survivor reported that Ralph Khollman, 82, sexually assaulted her at the family home in Menominee.

Khollman pleaded guilty to the charge in December of last year.

The sentence was handed down Friday in 41st Circuit Court.

“Mr. Khollman is a deeply disturbed, deviant predator,” Rogg says. “His sentence needed to reflect the gravity of the offense.”

Nicole was born near Detroit but has lived in the U.P. most of her life. She graduated from Marquette Senior High School and attended Michigan State and Northern Michigan Universities, graduating from NMU in 1993 with a degree in English.
