Wayne Rankin, 25, recently pleaded guilty to third-degree criminal sexual conduct in a case involving a 14-year-old, records show. He was initially charged with raping the girl during commission of a felony while they spent a few days together after meeting on an AATA bus in early February.

Woodrow Roosevelt Williams, also 25, was with them and is charged with sexually assaulting a 15-year-old girl at A Victory Inn on Washtenaw Avenue in the same incident. He is scheduled to stand trial on June 14.

Police said drugs and alcohol were involved.

Relatives reported the 14-year-old girl missing, and she became the focus of an Amber Alert. She turned up at the Eastern Michigan University police department the following day, and both men surrendered to authorities.
