Reserve Officer Mark Rutherford Charged with Sexually Assaulting Teenaged Girls

FLINT

Genesee County District Court records show 37-year-old Mark Rutherford, of Flint, faces charges of criminal sexual conduct for assaulting at least three teenaged girls. Rutherford, who is also a Birch Run reserve police officer, allegedly touched the girls during a church camping trip, in Mount Morris Township. The incident allegedly happened over the Memorial Day weekend. Rutherford, who also works as a security guard and Kettering University, was chaperoning the Valley Church of Christ in Burton.

Rutherford's case has been bound over to Genesee County Circuit Court and he will likely face trial. He'll be in court again September 8th. We will continue to follow this investigation as it develops. Right now, he's out on bond.
