Reanna Douglas, an Oakland University student charged with one count of criminal sexual conduct in the third degree, was handcuffed and taken into custody April 1 after her pre-trial hearing at the Oakland County Circuit Court.

According to court documents, Douglas had a sexual relationship with a 15-year-old female between June and August 2012. The relationship took place while Douglas, 23, was coaching a lacrosse team at Lake Orion High School, according to court documents.

Douglas pled no contest to the original charges, and Judge Daniel P. O’Brien accepted her plea.

Douglas recently broke the conditions of her bond, according to a court document titled “People’s Emergency Motion to Revoke Defendant’s Bond Pursuant to MCR 6.106.”

Prosecuting attorney Sara Pope-Starnes said they received notice March 27 that Douglas made threatening comments regarding the victim’s father. As a result, police put extra surveillance on the victim’s father’s home and an order to monitor Douglas with a GPS tether was granted at the April 1 hearing.

Douglas also made contact with the victim, which is a violation of her $15,000 personal bond, according to the People’s Emergency Motion to Revoke Defendant’s Bond Pursuant to MCR 6.106.

According to the document, the victim’s brother told his father that on March 9, he saw Douglas with his sister at his mother’s apartment.

The victim told Oakland County Sheriff detectives they were together that day, have met two other times and have been communicating through a shared email account.

On March 20, the prosecution requested that the court revoke the defendant’s bond, and her $100,000 bail amount, which was later granted.

Douglas was arrested one day later.

Defense attorney Cheryl Carpenter and prosecuting attorney, Jessica Cooper, declined to comment on the case at this time.

Douglas’ sentencing is set for May 6 at 8:30 a.m., and criminal sexual conduct in the third degree is punishable with up to 15 years in prison.
