A former Utica man now living in Florida has been arrested as the result of a warrant issued for sexual abuse.

The Oneida County Child Advocacy Center says Michael Sherman, Junior allegedly had sexual contact with a girl under the age of 13 during a nearly two year period from 2013 until 2015.

Sherman was arraigned in Florida as a fugitive from justice and extradited back to Utica.

The victim has been offered services through the CAC and an Order of Protection will be requested through the court.
