A former Michigan State employee, Robert Pittman, will stand trial in Ingham County Circuit Court for one count of criminal sexual conduct in the second degree and one count of assault and battery, according to East Lansing District Court Records.
Pittman's charges stem from incidents in the 1990s which were reported by Vance Kincaid, a medical education program coordinator at MSU. The events related to these charges occurred during the time that Kincaid and Pittman were both employed at the university.
"The victim's testimony was sufficient, on this record, to establish probable cause that the victim suffered personal injury or mental anguish," the opinion and order statement from Judge Richard Ball said.
Pittman faces up to 15 years in prison if convicted of the felony charge.
The case has been bound over to Ingham County Circuit Court. Pittman's arraignment is set for Wednesday, Nov. 6.
