Sue Ann Asch, whose husband died in 2018, is currently being held at the Kalkaska County Jail on a $5,000 bond.
Police in Michigan arrested a former paraprofessional for allegedly sending inappropriate texts to a child.
Sue Ann Asch, 79, is charged with accosting children for immoral purposes, according to court records.
Michigan State Police (MSP) said in a statement that Asch's arrest came after troopers learned that Asch had been sending inappropriate texts and Snapchat messages to a minor back in September
Asch knew the alleged victim, according to police, who were able to obtain a search warrant and search the suspect's home, according to the MSP. That search yielded multiple electronic devices, which were sent in to a crime lab for further analysis, according to the MSP.
On Jan. 8, investigators had enough evidence to obtain a felony warrant, according to MSP. Asch then turned herself in to police.
