According to the police investigation and testimony at trial, the victim’s mother had been dating and living with Sampson for about six years.
During that time, he committed various questionable acts with the victim even before she turned 10 years old.
The situation came to the attention of authorities in 2022 after the victim had confided in a friend about recent sexual experiences she had had.
Court documents revealed that the friend’s father overheard his daughter and the victim talking in the backseat of his car about her sexual activity, and upon questioning from the friend’s father, the victim confirmed that it involved Sampson.
The victim’s mother was then informed, and law enforcement was notified.
Testimony at trial and the police investigation revealed that Sampson would often provide the victim with marijuana and alcohol before the assaults took place, which occurred at various locations, including Sampson’s home and Stepping Stone Falls in Flint and Kelly Lake in the city of Burton.
