After being arrested and charged with sexual assault for alleged sexual conduct that involves a child, an assistant principal at Ecorse High School in Michigan was allowed to return to work while waiting for his trial.
On Monday, 46-year-old Melven Conway was taken into custody after the Detroit Police Department had been notified of an alleged sexual assault. The said crime happened eight years ago that involved Conway’s daughter who was ten years old at that time.
Now, after the judge decided to grant Conway a low bail and even placed him on house arrest where he is allowed to go back to work while he awaits trial. This only gave him the freedom to return to work around children despite the nature of his criminal child sex charges.
There were no legal parameters or limitations given to him that would restrict his contact with minors. The decision for him to return to school is entirely on the district.
In a statement with Fox News, District superintendent Dr. Josha Talison explained that the school is aware of Conway’s arrest and is cooperating with the investigation:
“The Ecorse School District has been made aware of the arrest of Assistant Principal Melven Conway. We are going to work collaboratively with all law enforcement agencies involved as this investigation continues. As always, the security of our students and staff is our number one priority,” Talison wrote.
According to the Wayne County Prosecutor, the investigation started in the spring of 2021 when the now-teenage girl came forward and said he sexually assaulted her when she was 10 inside a Detroit home.
The warrant was submitted in September 2021 and Conway was charged on Feb. 1, 2022, but was not in custody until Monday, Feb. 28.
Conway was arraigned on Monday and was ordered not to possess a weapon, not to contact the female relative, and can have contact with his children “as indicated by (Child Protective Services)”, the judge ordered.
Captain Kimberly Blackwell with the Detroit Police Special Victim’s Unit says the victim told several people about the sexual assault, years after it happened.
From Fox2 Detroit:
“He was ordered held on a $75,000/10% bond, meaning he can bond out for $7,500.
If he posts bond, Conway must wear a GPS tether and can go to work and stay home.
He’s due back in court on March 10 for a probable cause conference.”
