Man Faces Multiple Felony Charges
Police in Port Huron charged a 20-year-old man with several felonies after investigators say they found child sexual abuse material on his phone. Officers began looking into Edison Dihn Tran after a tip from Boyne City Police last September. Detectives say a search turned up multiple illegal images, and Tran later admitted asking underage girls online for nude photos. He was arraigned March 3rd and released on a $2,500 bond. Tran faces up to 20 years in prison if convicted. His next court hearing is March 24th.
