KENT COUNTY, Mich. (FOX 2) - A man who used to coach gymnastics in West Michigan is facing charges after allegations of sexual abuse surfaced years later.
An investigation that began in March led to the arrest of 49-year-old Shannon Guay in Florida, where he now lives, on Wednesday. He is accused of sexually assaulting five minors.
According to the Kent County Sheriff's Office, a business in Plainfield Township began receiving concerning voicemails about possible past assaults at the location that may have involved a former employee.
