(WXYZ) — UPDATE: The Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office announced Wednesday that charges have been dismissed for a former vision specialist who was accused of multiple child sex assaults.
It was previously alleged that James Baird had sexually assaulted students in Garden City and Westland while he was working as a school vision specialist.
The four cases have since been dismissed; the prosecutor said an additional investigation was crucial to the decision in these cases.
“We are certain that dismissing these charges was warranted. It is the right thing to do. We have no further comment, as there is pending civil litigation in connect with these matters,” said Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy in a statement.
