ROSEVILLE — A 19-year-old is facing charges for allegedly manufacturing and distributing child sexually abusive material following an investigation.
On Wednesday, Feb. 25, Macomb Area Computer Enforcement detectives, the Sheriff’s Enforcement Team and the Michigan Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force executed a search warrant in the 16000 block of Flanagan Street, north of Common Road and west of Groesbeck Highway in Roseville.

Jansen is scheduled for a preliminary exam March 18. In a statement, Sarah Kennedy Coaster, Jansen’s attorney, said these are very serious charges that will be met with an equally serious defense.
