Michigan man accused of sexually assaulting 96-year-old neighbor

A Michigan man allegedly climbed through a window to sexually assault a 96-year-old neighbor in her home, police said.

Dejon Dejor Lynn, 25, was arrested Saturday in an Aug. 4 attack at the Colonial Square Cooperative in Ann Arbor, a townhouse complex where both he and the elderly victim live, MLive.com reports.

Ann Arbor cops and the Michigan State Police crime lab processed evidence at the woman’s residence that led them to Lynn. Police then went to Lynn’s home one day after the attack to execute a search warrant, but he was not home.

Investigators were able to track him to a residence in Belleville, where he was taken into custody, MLive.com reports.

Lynn has been charged with first-degree criminal sexual conduct and first-degree home invasion in the attack, the Detroit Free Press reports.

He remains held without bond at the Washtenaw County Jail.

The victim, known to other residents as a spry and friendly woman, is continuing to recover from the attack, neighbors told WDIV.

“It is amazing,” neighbor Gary Ball told the station. “I was just seeing her walk a day before by the office area and she is quite active.”

The woman is as mobile “as someone in their early 60s,” Ball said.

“You have to be sick, deranged or on drugs,” Ball said of the attack.
