Tuscola County Prosecutor Mark E. Reene on Friday authorized a six-count warrant charging Barry with two counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct, one count of second-degree criminal sexual conduct and three counts of third-degree criminal sexual conduct. "The defendant is not a relative of the victim but was residing with the victim and his family during the time the incidents occurred in January," Reene said.
