Ward bound over to circuit court

MARQUETTE, MI--   A Negaunee Township man is headed to circuit court on charges related to so-called “revenge porn.” 

Matthew Ward, 26, waived his preliminary hearing in Marquette District Court Tuesday. He’s charged with six felonies, including first-degree criminal sexual conduct and distribution of child sexually abusive material.

The Michigan State Police Computer Crimes Unit—Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force investigated Ward and seized evidence from his home in August.

Ward faces up to life in prison if convicted as charged.
