WILLIAM VANPEMBROOK
IRON MOUNTAIN A Kingsford man will serve a minimum of 10 years in prison for sexually assaulting a 15-year-old girl.
William Vanpembrook, 63, was sentenced Tuesday in Dickinson County Circuit Court to as many as 25 years on two counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct, a felony punishable by up to life in prison; and second-degree criminal sexual conduct, a 15-year penalty.
Vanpembrook made no excuses for his offenses and took responsibility “from the get-go,” defense attorney Henry McRoberts said.
McRoberts noted Vanpembrook’s only criminal history consisted of three misdemeanors each unrelated to the conduct Vanpembrook had been convicted of and asked that Dickinson County Circuit Judge Mary Barglind consider a prison sentence at the lower end of the guideline range of 81 to 135 months.
