ROGERS CITY — Theodore Beck, 65, was bound over to the 53rd Circuit Court after preliminary examination on three charges of fourth degree criminal sexual conduct (CSC) on Tuesday.

The preliminary examination took place in the 89th District Court in Presque Isle County with Judge Michael Ekdahl presiding. Preliminary examinations are done to determine whether there is probable cause that a crime occurred, meaning whether there is enough evidence for a reasonable person to believe that a crime was committed.

The complaining witness and the law enforcement officer in charge of the investigation testified during the examination.

Beck’s next hearing will be an arraignment at 9 a.m. on May 11 in the 53rd Circuit Court.
