Turner, 35, charged with molesting teen
A Coffee County man faces sexual battery charges after he allegedly molested a teen-age girl half his age while she was sleeping.
The suspect, Michael Glen Turner, 35, was bound to the grand jury Tuesday by Judge Larry Ross on the charge of sexual battery, a count which carries three to six years in prison if proven. His case will go before the grand jury next month.
The charges come for an incident over the past weekend where Turner allegedly entered the room where a 17-year-old girl was sleeping and began taking liberties with the teen. Specifically, warrants for Turner’s arrest claim he touched her about her chest, buttocks and then placed his hand underneath her clothes.
The victim told investigators she awoke and was stunned to find Turner committing the crime with very little clothing on.
“Miss Jane Doe (given in place of the girl’s real name) awoke to discover Michael Glen Turner naked below the waist, wearing only a T-shirt,” the warrant reads.
