A 42-year-old Holly, Michigan youth soccer coach has been accused of preying on a minor child online and transporting them across state lines to engage in sex crimes.
According to court records, Chason Pointer, of Grand Blanc, Michigan, allegedly traveled from Michigan to northern Ohio in the middle of the night to transport the child to a Michigan hotel, where he sexually abused them.
Further investigation revealed that Pointer had previously traveled to Ohio to sexually assault the child and discussed this activity with the child through a social media messaging platform.
On April 10, 2026, a federal magistrate judge in Flint held a bond hearing and detained Pointer pending trial, citing clear and convincing evidence that no set of bond conditions could ensure the community’s safety.
