In a shocking case, 20-year-old Ethan Dekalita from Mt. Morris tricked a Cass City family into letting him stay in their home by posing as a stranded 14-year-old. Last fall, State Troopers uncovered his true identity after the family grew suspicious and called 911. Dekalita had been targeting the family’s 14-year-old daughter online, and while staying there, he assaulted both her and her 12-year-old sister. A Tuscola County judge sentenced him to at least 7 years in prison, with a maximum of 15.
