Lt. Tony Cuevas said investigators have reopened a criminal sexual conduct case they were looking into in 2016.

Investigators have launched a criminal probe into Washington Local Schools board member and former superintendent Patrick Hickey, who is accused of having inappropriate relations with students while he worked at a school district in Michigan.
A 2016 police report shows a woman told an investigator that she had sex with Mr. Hickey when she was 14 and he was her coach and teacher at Addison High School in Addison, Mich., more than two decades ago.
Lenawee County prosecutors at the time declined to press charges because the woman requested that they not, and because it was reported outside the statute of limitations, according to both the police report and Scott Baker, chief assistant prosecuting attorney for the county.
“The same victim wants to move forward with criminal charges, and the statute of limitations for that particular crime is no longer an issue,” Lieutenant Cuevas said Thursday.
State police are investigating an allegation of criminal sexual conduct in the first degree, which is punishable by life in prison and has no statute of limitations, Lieutenant Cuevas said. (updated at 4:38 p.m.)
Mr. Hickey could not immediately be reached for comment. He has previously denied wrongdoing.
Angie Borders, a senior trial attorney for the Lenawee County prosecuting attorney’s office, also confirmed the investigation Thursday.
“There is an open investigation in our county being conducted by the Michigan State Police Department,” she said. “I am not prepared to discuss the details of the nature of the investigation or any other details pertaining to it.”
Mr. Hickey resigned as Washington Local’s superintendent in December, 2015, shortly before the school board could consider a resolution to fire him because of 37 charges compiled by a board-hired law firm. Those charges included that he failed to inform the district that he left Addison Community Schools in 1990 because of accusations he had inappropriate relations with students.
He was elected to serve on the Washington Local school board in November.
Board President Tom Ilstrup said he was “saddened that all this is coming as it is” and that the full board will have to discuss the situation with their legal counsel.
“I intend to let the Michigan State Police continue their investigation and move forward. It is out of our hands. At this point, he is a member of the board and we’ll deal with it on that basis,” he said.
Lieutenant Cuevas encouraged any other potential victims to call the Michigan State Police Monroe Post at 734-242-3500.

Publishers have created a web-abusive, reader-hostile web.
In 2016, single web pages from many media sites ranged from 5 to 10 megabytes in size, but the body of many of these articles was simple text.
A single web page may make hundreds of requests to JavaScript, trackers, ads, etc. These types of web pages can bog down older CPUs, and they can create a clunky user experience on phones.
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book.
It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged.
It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
November 2014
Pre-winter, but worth mentioning because of the stretch of abnormally cold weather that occurred from Nov 12 through Nov 22. On some days, our temps were 20 to 25 degrees below normal.
On seven days during that stretch, our temps dipped into the teens. On Nov 18, TOL recorded a low of 9 degrees. We received a few inches of snowfall during this period.
That's not unusual weather for mid-January, but for mid-November, it was a bit bizarre, especially because of the duration.
Another heading 3
It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout.
The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English.
Here is a useless paragraph that is used to test using the inline code markup command, based upon the single backtick and nothing else.
Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy.
Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old.
Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source.
Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance.
The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.
The standard chunk of Lorem Ipsum used since the 1500s is reproduced below for those interested.
Sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 from "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" by Cicero are also reproduced in their exact original form, accompanied by English versions from the 1914 translation by H. Rackham.

There are many variations of passages of Lorem Ipsum available, but the majority have suffered alteration in some form, by injected humour, or randomised words which don't look even slightly believable.

If you are going to use a passage of Lorem Ipsum, you need to be sure there isn't anything embarrassing hidden in the middle of text.
All the Lorem Ipsum generators on the Internet tend to repeat predefined chunks as necessary, making this the first true generator on the Internet.

It uses a dictionary of over 200 Latin words, combined with a handful of model sentence structures, to generate Lorem Ipsum which looks reasonable.

The generated Lorem Ipsum is therefore always free from repetition, injected humour, or non-characteristic words etc.
