Coopersville man takes plea, prison sentence instead of retrial

An imprisoned Coopersville man who was granted a retrial on a criminal sexual conduct case opted to take a plea deal this month and was sentenced back to prison.

Stephen Chesla pleaded guilty on Jan. 8 in the Ottawa County 20th Circuit Court to assault with intent to commit criminal sexual conduct. Two charges — criminal sexual conduct in the first degree and criminal sexual conduct in the second degree — were dismissed.
