Suspect busted after trying to meet child for sex at Holly business

Daniel James Kring (Holly Police)

When a man went to a Holly business to have sex with who he thought was a 12-year-old girl, he was met by a group from Indiana that busts child predators online. 

Holly police said officers were called to a business on Saginaw Street on Nov. 22 after 35-year-old Daniel James Kring, of Holly Township, tried to meet up with a 12-year-old girl.

According to police, the Indiana-based group used an adult decoy posting as a child on social media to meet Kring, who allegedly "almost immediately began having graphic sexual conversations with the decoy."

Police said Kring also sent explicit photos of himself to the decoy, and suggested that they meet at a business in Holly to have sex. 

The group from Indiana traveled to Holly, met up with Kring, and contacted police to provide them with evidence of the explicit conversations. 

Kring is now charged with accosting a minor for immoral purposes and using a computer to commit a crime.
