F
ormer Tamarack Camps
employee Jesse Hermann
will remain in the Wayne
County jail where he has been held on
$100,000 bond since Feb. 15, when he
was arrested and charged with four
felony counts of child sexually abusive
activity.
Hermann appeared
before Judge Michael
Gerou of the 35th
District Court in
Plymouth on March
1 for a preliminary
examination, which
was subsequently
postponed until
Jesse
March 22 because of
Hermann
a delay in the pretrial
discovery process.
Hermann's attorney, David Crips,
asked Gerou to reduce the bond and
allow Hermann to live with his mother
in her Farmington Hills home while
awaiting trial. He offered several condi-
tions including a house-arrest tether, no
contact with minors and no access to
the Internet. Gerou refused the request
after the prosecution stated that one of
the charges against Hermann involved
an attempt to engage in sexual contact
with a 3-year-old.
Crips argued that no physical contact
occurred because Hermann changed his
mind without entering the hotel where
the alleged meeting was supposed to
take place. While driving away, he was
apprehended by Canton police, who had
been conducting an ongoing investiga-
tion of Hermann.
Gerou stated that, whether or not a
meeting actually took place, "the defen-
dant took significant steps to accom-
plish a pretty outrageous act:'
Hermann is charged with two felony
counts of "child sexually abusive com-
munity activity" and two felony counts
of "computer Internet communication
with another person in order to com-
mit a crime:'
Hermann worked at Tamarack Camps
since 2009 as a part-time art instruc-
tor and a counselor for the Family
Camp program. Tamarack officials said
Hermann's arrest was not connected
with his employment at camp or with
any camp program participants. They
added that a background check was
done when Hermann was hired.
Defense attorney Crips said, "This
is just the beginning of a long legal
process ... there are huge matters of
dispute which will be resolved at future
hearings:' He said he admired the way
Hermann's family has come together to
support him.
