William G. Hierholzer - Repeat Sex Offender - Pedophile

A convicted sex offender is back in court in Midland County, once again facing allegations that he sexually assaulted young girls.

William G. Hierholzer, 56, of Midland, is charged with three counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct and four counts of second-degree criminal sexual conduct, the Midland Daily News reports.

Prosecutors allege that Hierholzer molested one girl, now 6, between September and Nov. 21, 2008, in a Lee Township mobile park home he lived at with the girl’s father. The second girl, now 10, was allegedly assaulted by Hierholzer multiple times between 2003 and 2007.

Hierholzer’s bond is set at $250,000. He is represented by Bay City attorney Robert J. Dunn.

In September 2008, Hierholzer was convicted of two counts of fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct with a victim between the ages of 13 and 16, the Michigan Public Sex Offender Registry shows.

Hierholzer is scheduled for a preliminary examination before Midland County Circuit Judge Jonathan E. Lauderbach on July 19.
