*Grand Traverse County Commissioner Pleads Guilty to Engaging Services of Prostitution*





*LANSING* – Today, Grand Traverse County Commissioner Brad Jewett, 55, of Traverse City, pled guilty to one count of Prostitution - Engaging Services, a 93-day misdemeanor, announced Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel. As part of the plea agreement, an additional charge of Using a Computer to Commit a Crime was dismissed.  

In June, a joint law enforcement task force involving the Grand Traverse County Sheriff's Office, Traverse City Police Department, Homeland Security Investigations, Genesee County Sheriff's Office, and the Genesee Human Oppression Strike Team (GHOST) conducted an undercover sting operation in a Grand Traverse County hotel. The Grand Traverse County Prosecutor’s office referred this matter to the Department of Attorney General for review, as the investigation centered on a local elected official. Michigan State Police and the Grand Traverse County Sheriff’s Office conducted the investigation, which concluded in August. 

“As this conviction demonstrates, no one is above the law,” Nessel said. “I commend the joint law enforcement task force for conducting their operation with integrity. My department will continue to hold accountable those who engage in criminal activity, no matter their position.”

Brad Jewett is an elected county commissioner in Grand Traverse County, and currently serves the commission as its vice chairperson. Due to his position as an elected official, the Grand Traverse County Prosecutor requested the Department of Attorney General review the case. Attorney General Nessel charged Jewett in September [ [link removed] ].  

A sentencing date has not yet been set.
