A suspect wanted by the East Lansing Police Department for six counts of Criminal Sexual Conduct (CSC) was arrested in Los Angeles, California on Friday by the United States Marshals Service, according to an ELPD statement.  The suspect is 26-year-old Mikael Alexandre Frutin. They have been investigating the case since July of 2014 after he was accused of having an illicit sexual relationship with a 14-year-old girl. He was the girl's gymnastics instructor at Red Cedar Gymnastics in Delhi Township however the statement said none of the alleged crimes happened there. After becoming aware of the investigation, Frutin fled the state and ELPD worked with the Michigan State Police Fugitive Team to track him down.
