Federal trial set for man accused of transporting 12-year-old
(AP) A federal judge has scheduled a September trial for a Canadian man found in Michigan with a 12-year-old girl from Butler County he met on the Internet.
Stewart Kenneth Cody McGill of Bewdley, Ontario, has already waived a detention hearing and will remain in custody until his trial. He's charged with transporting a minor out of state to have sex.
U.S. District Judge J. Thomas Marten has set a Sept. 25 trial date.
Law enforcement authorities say McGill traveled in late May to El Dorado to meet the girl. They were found a few days later near Potterville, Mich.
The girl told police she went with McGill willingly. Prosecutors say McGill told police he met the girl playing "World of Warcraft'' online and that he loved her.
