Branch County Man Convicted of Sexually Assaulting Minor

*LANSING* – Yesterday, Alex New, 55, a Branch County resident recently extradited from Florida [ [link removed] ], was convicted by a Branch County jury of two counts of First-Degree Criminal Sexual Conduct and one count of Second-Degree Criminal Sexual Conduct, announced Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel. New sexually assaulted a minor.   

New was charged by the Branch County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office in 2016 but fled and eluded authorities before being located in Florida and returned to Branch County in June 2024 through Operation Survivor Justice [ [link removed] ]. The Operation is a partnership between the Michigan Department of Attorney General, local county prosecutors, and the U.S. Marshals Service to locate, apprehend, and return to Michigan fugitive offenders with outstanding sexual assault warrants.   

“After nearly a decade, justice has finally been served in this case, thanks to the extraordinary courage of the victim to come forward at such a young age and Operation Survivor Justice,” Nessel said. “My department will continue to build on this partnership to locate, apprehend, and return sexual assault fugitives to Michigan so they can be held accountable.” 

New will be sentenced before Judge P. William O'Grady in the 15th Circuit Court in Branch County on August 11.
