In a recent court session, significant evidence was presented regarding the collection and analysis of DNA swabs from Paige Allen, a key figure in an ongoing sexual assault case. The evidence report, identified as record number MD 23 3791, detailed the recovery of DNA from various swabs, indicating the possible presence of male DNA from the right neck, vaginal wall, cervical, and breast swabs. Notably, DNA from the oral and cranial swabs did not indicate male DNA and was not processed further.

The court reviewed three proposed exhibits related to the DNA findings. The first exhibit confirmed the presence of male DNA from the right neck swabs, suggesting multiple contributors, with at least one being male. This profile has been entered into the Combined DNA Index System (CODIS) for ongoing searches.

The second exhibit revealed a high stringency association between the DNA from the right neck swabs and a specimen linked to Quinelle William Tolkien, born November 2, 1986. The prosecution moved to admit these exhibits under MCL 766.11, which was granted by the judge.

The prosecution also moved to bind over the defendant on two counts: third-degree criminal sexual conduct (CSC) for oral penetration and fourth-degree CSC for breast touching. The court heard testimony from Paige, who is currently 16 years old, regarding the incidents that occurred last year. The prosecution argued that the nature of the acts indicated sexual intent.

As the case progresses, the implications of the DNA evidence and the testimonies will be critical in determining the outcome of the charges against the defendant.
