A Westland man has been bound over on charges connected to incidents said to have occurred at a birthday party in which he allegedly molested several young boys.

37-year-old Andrew Joseph Arnett was bound over to Livingston County Circuit in two separate cases on Thursday. Arnett was originally charged with two counts of 2nd degree criminal sexual conduct and two counts of accosting a child for immoral purposes. He was recently charged with five additional counts; three of which are 2nd degree CSC and two counts of accosting a child for immoral purposes. Brighton police say those charges stem from inappropriate contact between Arnett and at least four boys under the age of 13 that allegedly occurred at a birthday party in January.

Earlier this month, Arnett was arraigned in a separate case on three counts of 2nd degree CSC and one count of accosting a child for immoral purposes. Court records indicate those incidents occurred in June in Hamburg Township. Authorities say the investigation is ongoing. Future court dates for Arnett have not been scheduled at this time. (DK)
