Ethan Dekalita, a 20-year-old man, pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting two young girls after posing as a 14-year-old boy and staying with a Tuscola County family. Court records show that Dekalita admitted to two counts of second-degree criminal sexual conduct and one count of accosting children for immoral purposes. Dekalita used a fake name and claimed to be 14 years old in order to stay with the family, where he befriended a 14-year-old girl through Snapchat. The parents of the girls became suspicious when Dekalita made excuses not to leave and contacted the police, who discovered his true age. Investigators believe he sexually assaulted the two girls while staying at the family’s home. Dekalita faces a maximum sentence of 15 years in prison and will be sentenced at a later date. The case serves as a reminder of the importance of verifying the identities and ages of individuals staying in one’s home, especially when it comes to the safety and well-being of children. Parents and guardians are urged to be vigilant and take necessary precautions to protect their children from potential predators.
