Hillman sex offender admitted to another sex crime, gets prison time

ALPENA, Mich. — A registered sex offender from Hillman confessed to another sex crime. Marc Whitney plead guilty on Monday and will serve a minimum of 4 to 20 years in prison.

The Huron Undercover Narcotics Team concluded their three month investigation into Whitney possessing child sexually abusive material. He also admitted to using a computer to commit a crime.

In 2018, parents reported that girls between the ages of 10 and 16 received requests to follow Whitney — a local sex offender — on social media. Whitney violated the sex offender registry act and was previously convicted of criminal sexual conduct involving a minor.
