KALAMAZOO, MI (WNWN/WTVB) – Former Fabius Township Supervisor Kenneth Dwyane Linn was ordered to serve between 18 and 50 years in prison on Tuesday after he was convicted last month on four counts of first degree criminal sexual conduct in Kalamazoo County Circuit Court.
The verdicts were handed down by a jury following a trial which lasted a week.
Linn was convicted of assaulting a woman who was 22-years-old at the time in her Portage apartment following a 2010 golf outing at Sauganash Country Club in Three Rivers. Prosecutors say she was physically helpless due to extreme intoxication and unable to give consent, resulting in physical injury.
Linn was among several golfers who encouraged the woman to drink alcohol with them after the outing and said he would “look after” her.
Linn was charged in October of 2022 by Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel and Kalamazoo County Prosecutor Jeff Getting following a Kalamazoo Sexual Assault Kit Initiative that lasted 12 years.
Special Assistant Attorney General Erin House prosecuted the case against Linn.
