SADOWSKI

MARQUETTE — A man who is being held in the Alger County Jail on a homicide-open murder charge in relation to the May 30, 2019, death of a Munising man is facing new charges.

Jason David Sadowski, 50, was arraigned Tuesday in Alger County District Court on four counts of child sexually abusive activity-aggravated, two counts of child sexually abusive activity and six counts of using a computer to commit a crime, court officials confirmed.

Sadowski’s preliminary examination on the 12 new charges is scheduled at 10 a.m. Sept. 17.

The CSA charges were filed on May 31, according to the court.

He has had multiple court dates since his arrest on June 7, 2019.

Sadowski had previously been released from prison after being acquitted of one count of solicitation to commit murder, two counts torture, two counts false imprisonment and two counts strangulation following a lengthy jury deliberation in March 2017.

He had initially been convicted of the charges in March 2014, but appealed the court’s decision in December 2015 and was granted a retrial. The charges had stemmed from a July 2013 incident, in which he had been accused of tying two women up, threatening and beating them in the basement of his Ishpeming home and business.
