LANSING, Mich. — A former Central Michigan University student president heads to trail for sexual assault.

Ian Elliott from Cheboygan will be heading to trial on criminal sexual conduct charges.

On Wednesday, Feb. 13, Isabella County District Court Chief Judge Eric R. Janes ruled that there was sufficient evidence to send Elliott to trial on two counts of CSC (Criminal Sexual Conduct) 3rd Degree and one count of assault with intent to commit penetration.

This allegedly happened during his time as a student at CMU in 2016.

The judge's ruling came after a hearing in which additional testimony describing similiar acts occurred.

The case, People v Elliott, was filed by the Michigan Department of Attorney General after the Isabella County Prosecutor dropped the original charges.

No trial date has been set.
