Prosecutor Kym Worthy has charged Robert Anthony Lintzenich, 59, of Blissfield, Michigan, in connection with using a computer to commit a crime by accosting a minor for immoral purposes.
On September 30, 2025, the Northville Township Police Department with assistance from the Michigan State Police (MSP) Internet Crimes Against Children Taskforce, Homeland Security, and the Canton Special Operations Group, conducted an online undercover chat operation. At approximately, 9:20 p.m., it is alleged that Defendant Lintzenich used social media to communicate with an MSP officer that he thought was a teen girl to meet him for the purpose of having inappropriate sexual contact. The investigation resulted in the identification and arrest of the defendant later the same day.
Robert Anthony Lintzenich has been charged with Child Sexually Abusive Activity, Accosting a Minor for Immoral Purposes, and two counts of Using a Computer to Commit a Crime.*
“These are not original ideas, but they are extremely important. Always communicate with your children about internet safety. Set privacy controls to restrict access to inappropriate content and monitor online activities. Predators often make connections with children by having conversations in chat rooms. Explain why your child should never chat privately with anyone they don’t know, even if the conversations seem innocent. We must be ever vigilant when it comes to teaching our children about online predators,” said Prosecutor Kym Worthy.
He was arraigned today in 35th District Court before Judge James Plakas and received a $1 Million/10% bond with a GPS tether and house arrest. He is to have no contact with any person under 18 years of age and not be at any location with any person under 18 years of age. The defendant is allowed to use a computer for work or court matters and may use cell phones to make phone calls only.
The Probable Cause Conference is scheduled for October 10, 2025, at 9:30 a.m., and the Preliminary Examination is scheduled for October 17, 2025, at 11:30 a.m. Please request a photograph of the defendant from the Northville Township Police Department.
*The charges are allegations and defendants are presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
