A Fowlerville man was arraigned Tuesday on charges of child sexually abusive activity.

Michigan State Police Brighton Post troopers arrested James Witgen, 35, on Monday after an investigation into a National Center for Missing and Exploited Children cyber tip.

Witgen has been charged with three counts of child sexually abusive activity, three counts of possession of child sexually abusive activity and six counts of using a computer to commit a crime, according to an MSP news release.

He was arraigned on all charges on Tuesday and issued a cash or surety bond of $1 million, according to the release.

The release states that he faces up to 20 years in prison for each of the child sexually abusive activity counts, four years for each count of possession and seven years for each count of using a computer to commit a crime.
