"Revenge porn" suspect headed to court Tuesday

MARQUETTE, MI--   A preliminary hearing will be held Tuesday for a Negaunee Township man accused of posting “revenge porn.” 

Matthew Ward, 26, was arrested September 5 following an investigation into his online activity. A search warrant was executed at his home in August and evidence was seized.

Ward was arraigned on six charges, including first-degree criminal sexual conduct, child sexually abusive activity, possession of child sexually abusive material, and distribution of child sexually abusive material.

His preliminary exam takes place Tuesday in Marquette District Court. 

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.
