BATTLE CREEK, MI (WKZO AM/FM) — A Battle Creek man has pleaded guilty to criminal sexual conduct charges related to a case involving a 12-year-old who became pregnant.
22-year-old Dawson Tyler Burk was charged in August of 2019 for threatening the young female and shoving her, saying he would “make her lose the baby”. It followed a sexual assault investigation that began in June of that year when it was learned the girl was pregnant.
Following the guilty plea in Calhoun County court Wednesday, two other counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct will be dismissed. Burk’s sentencing is scheduled for November 1st.
He still faces aggravated assault charges and a jury trial for that case is scheduled to begin in October.
