Kingsford man sentenced for sexual assault

IRON MOUNTAIN, MI--   A Dickinson County man is headed to prison for sexually assaulting a woman over the summer.  

William Bottesi, 40, of Kingsford was arrested after he argued with the female victim and physically and sexually assaulted her. 

Bottesi was convicted of second-degree criminal sexual conduct—assault with intent to commit sexual penetration, third-degree CSC, and driving while impaired.

A judge sentenced Bottesi Tuesday to between 40 months and 15 years in prison.  He’ll also have to pay around $7,000 in fines.
