Mount Clemens, MI – Macomb County Prosecutor Peter J. Lucido announced that 49-year-old Angelo Lupo, of Macomb Township, was bound over on a charge related to accosting a child for an immoral purpose.
It is alleged that on Nov. 13, 2025, Lupo coordinated a meeting with a person he believed was a 15-year-old minor. The intent of the meeting was for a sexual encounter. When Lupo arrived to meet the minor, he was instead arrested by New Baltimore Law Enforcement officials.
On Thursday, April 23, 2026, Lupo’s preliminary exam was held before Judge William H. Hackel, III of the 42-2 District Court in New Baltimore, MI. At the conclusion of the exam, Judge Hackel bound Lupo over as charged with the following:
- Children – Accosting for Immoral Purpose, a four-year felony,
- Computers – Using to Commit a Crime – Maximum Imprisonment of Four Years or More but Less Than 10 years, a seven-year felony, and
- Controlled Substances – Possession (Cocaine, Heroin or Another Narcotic) Less and 25 Grams, a four-year felony. The People were represented at the Preliminary Exam by Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Justin Pollard.
Lupo will be arraigned before Judge Anthony R. Servitto at the Macomb County Circuit Court on Monday, May 11, 2026, at 1:30 p.m.
“Protecting children is not optional, it is the core duty of any just society. Justice demands that those who prey on the vulnerable are identified, prosecuted, and held fully accountable. As prosecutors, we will use every lawful tool available to ensure predators face consequences and our communities remain places where families can live without fear,” said Macomb County Prosecutor Peter J. Lucido.
The Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office represents the People. We are committed to achieving justice and following the laws of the State of Michigan. All that are accused of a crime are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
