Mathews could face more charges

MARQUETTE, MI--   Police are investigating the possibility of bringing additional charges against an Ishpeming man charged with criminal sexual conduct.  

John Wayne Mathews, 44, was taken into custody August 9 and charged with accosting a child for immoral purposes and fourth-degree CSC.  Officials say Mathews had contact with a 13-year-old Ishpeming girl. 

Officers are now looking into accusations involving other victims.  No action was taken at a preliminary hearing Tuesday while the investigation continues. 

Mathews remains lodged in the Marquette County Jail on a $200,000 cash bond.
