A former police officer whose sexual assault case was dismissed by Attorney General Dana Nessel is suing six individuals involved with his case, including a Michigan State Police trooper and three former employees of the Department of Attorney General.
Sean MacMaster, a former Detroit police officer, filed suit in Detroit federal court last week, alleging that investigators and prosecutors in his case violated his rights to due process and protection from unreasonable search and seizure.
MacMaster and his 71-year-old stepfather were arrested in 2019 and charged by the Attorney General’s Office with the sexual abuse of a relative. MacMaster maintained his wife, Johanna MacMaster, had fabricated the story during a custody battle and argued in his lawsuit that investigators acted inappropriately while investigating and prosecuting the case.

DETROIT Detroit police have launched an investigation after people living in a home that caught fire failed to tell firefighters an 18-month-old girl was inside the house.
Firefighters rescued the toddler from the burning home in the 11000 block of Riad at about 3:20 a.m. on April 5, Deputy Fire Commissioner Dave Fornell told The Detroit News on Saturday.
Several adults were outside and asked firefighters to save dogs that were in the burning house. That’s when firefighters found a crib with the child in it in a room filled with black smoke, according to the Associated Press.
