A Midland man accused of sexually assaulting a pre-teen boy in 2009 and 2010 has been sentenced to prison. Dennis O. Clark, 64, pleaded no contest to one count of second-degree criminal sexual conduct, a felony involving touching. In exchange for his plea, prosecutors dropped two counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct with a person younger than 13, a felony that involves penetration and is punishable by life. Clark was charged in November after Midland County Sheriff’s deputies investigated reports of abuse that occurred in 2009 and 2010 in Midland Township. Clark was found competent to stand trial after being evaluated at the Center for Forensic Psychiatry in Ypsilanti. His attorney requested the competency exam, arguing that Clark suffered from major depression, delirium and visual and auditory hallucinations.
