"Mr. Martin assaulted one of these victims as young as 5 and several of these victims throughout their teenage years. Very much so grooming them and making them feel guilty for the crimes that he was actually committing against them," the marshal said.
Martin is accused of committing these crimes over the course of nine years.
"The victims are all related siblings; they’re not related to Mr. Martin by blood. However, he was living with their family during this time period," the marshal said.
The crimes are alleged to have happened in several different addresses – including one near 95th and Brown Deer.
"Believe me when I say, if you read the allegations in the criminal complaint against him, you would feel very empathetic for this family and these five victims," the marshal said. "The last known location is the state of Michigan. But Mr. Martin has also spent time living in the state of Texas and the state of Florida."
