The Fremont County Sheriff’s Office reports the arrest on Thursday of a Page County man on sex abuse charges. Deputies arrested 57-year old Michele “Mike” Dean Michel, of Northboro, after he turned himself-in while accompanied by his attorney. Michel faces charges that include two counts of Sexual Abuse in the 2nd degree, two counts of Lascivious Acts with a Child, and two counts of Indecent Contact with a Child.

His arrest followed an investigation that began on Aug. 26, 2014. Michel was unable to post a $30,000 cash bond and is being held in the Fremont County Jail.
