Witness in Torch Lake slaying case charged in criminal sexual conduct

-Kalkaska man faces up to life in prison if convicted for allegedly molesting relative

By PATRICK SULLIVAN
Record-Eagle staff writer

BELLAIRE - A second witness for the prosecution in the murder case against William Charles Cron has been arrested and accused of molesting a young girl.
Matthew Alan Cron, 21, of Kalkaska, was charged Monday with first- and second-degree criminal sexual conduct in Kalkaska County.
He faces up to life in prison if convicted of the charges, which stem from accusations that he forced sex acts with an 8-year-old female relative last April.
At a preliminary hearing in December, Matthew Cron was a star witness against his brother William, who is accused of kidnapping and killing his estranged girlfriend, Jamie Lee Moran, 20, of South Boardman, on Sept. 4 or 5 of last year.
In his testimony at the preliminary hearing, Matthew Cron described a bizarre series of events leading up to Moran's disappearance, including helping his brother purchase a disguise at a Traverse City magic store. He also testified that he helped his brother clean a stolen car and burn clothes hours later.
At that hearing it was revealed that Matthew had in the past been declared not mentally competent to handle his own affairs.
William Cron, 29, also of Kalkaska, is scheduled to stand trial April 9 on charges of murder, kidnapping and car theft. Police say he abducted Moran after she left work at a Traverse City hair salon and drowned her in the Torch River.
He faces life in prison without the possibility of parole if convicted of first-degree murder.
Last week Cron's father, Charles Glen Cron, 60, of Kalkaska, was charged with first- and second-degree criminal sexual conduct stemming from allegations that he also molested a female relative under the age of 13.
Antrim Prosecutor Charles Koop, who is prosecuting William Cron on the murder and kidnapping charges, said "anytime one of your witnesses is in jail ... that can be a problem."
But he said he didn't expect that the developments would jeopardize his case because testimony Matthew and Charles Cron gave during William Cron's preliminary hearing is already on the record. If necessary, Koop can have that testimony read onto the record at the murder trial.
Cron's lawyer, Gerald Chefalo, had filed a motion to have the trial moved out of Antrim County, citing pre-trial publicity. But Circuit Judge Philip Rodgers ruled last month against that motion and said lawyers should attempt to seat an impartial jury.
Jury selection is scheduled to begin April 2, when two jury pools will be called in to answer questionnaires.
Rodgers did approve a request from Chefalo to appoint an investigator for the defense. Chefalo argued that since Cron is indigent, he cannot afford to hire someone to sort through a police report that is more than 1,000 pages long and interview the more than 100 witnesses identified by the prosecution.
Chefalo was also given approval to hire an independent medical examiner and an accident reconstructionist.
Meanwhile, Koop said he plans to make a motion to introduce evidence that Cron had an accomplice in the murder.
Ivan Lee Bechtol Jr. has been charged in Kalkaska County with conspiracy to commit murder and kidnapping, home invasion and attempted kidnapping in connection with the case. He also faces life in prison if convicted.
He is accused of helping Cron break into a mobile home three days before Moran's death in an attempt to kidnap Moran. Police said Moran's boyfriend, Ira Henke, fought off Cron and the attempt was foiled.
Bechtol was originally charged only with home invasion, but the kidnapping and murder conspiracy charges were added after he allegedly bragged to a cell mate at the Kalkaska County Jail that he and Cron had planned to kidnap and kill Moran.

5449 Maredudd ab Owain (died 999) was a King of Deheubarth, and through conquest also of Gwynedd and Powys, kingdoms in medieval Wales.

Maredudd was the son of Owain ap Hywel and the grandson of Hywel Dda. His father was king of Deheubarth before him. As Owain grew too old to lead in battle his son Maredudd took his place, and in 986 captured Gwynedd from Cadwallon ab Ieuaf. On Owain's death in 988 Maredudd also became ruler of Deheubarth. He may have controlled all Wales apart from Gwent and Morgannwg.

He is recorded as raiding Mercian settlements on the borders of Radnor and as paying a ransom of one penny a head to rescue some of his subjects who had been taken captive in Viking raids. Danish raids were a constant problem during Maredudd's reign. In 987 Godfrey Haroldson raided Anglesey, killing one thousand and carrying away two thousand as captives; Maredudd is supposed to have paid a huge ransom for the freedom of the hostages. Maredudd died in 999 and was described by the Brut y Tywysogion as "the most famous King of the Britons". Following his death, the throne of Gwynedd was recovered for the line of Idwal Foel by Cynan ap Hywel.

5450 Margaret de Clare (October 1293 - April 1342) was one of the three daughters of Gilbert de Clare, 3rd Earl of Gloucester and his wife, Joan of Acre, and thus a granddaughter of King Edward I of England.

She was married to Piers Gaveston, the favourite of her uncle Edward II, in October 1307. According to the Vita Edwardi Secundi, this marriage was arranged by the King "to strengthen Piers and surround him with friends." Gaveston celebrated the marriage with a lavish tournament at Wallingford Castle. The marriage of such a high-born lady to a foreigner was not popular among the English nobility. They had one child:
Joan Gaveston, born probably January 12/18th, 1312, at York.

King Edward threw a grand celebration after the birth of this child, complete with minstrels. However, Piers Gaveston was executed only six months later, leaving Margaret a widow with a small child. Her dower rights as Countess of Cornwall were disputed, and so King Edward instead assigned her Oakham Castle and other lands. She joined the Royal household and in 1316 accompanied the King in his journey from London to York.

Following the death of their brother, Gilbert de Clare, 8th Earl of Hertford, at the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314, Margaret and her sisters, Elizabeth and Eleanor de Clare received a share of the inheritance. Margaret was now one of the co-heiresses to the vast Gloucester estate, and King Edward arranged a second marriage for her to another favourite, Hugh de Audley, 1st Earl of Gloucester.

On April 28, 1317 Margaret de Clare wed Hugh de Audley, 1st Earl of Gloucester at Windsor Castle. They had one daughter:
Margaret de Audley, born between January 1318 and November 1322.

Hugh and Margaret were among the victims of their brother-in-law, Hugh the younger Despenser. In his rashness and greed for the Clare lands, he robbed Margaret of much of her rightful inheritance. In 1321, Hugh de Audley joined the other Marcher Barons in looting, burning, and causing general devastation to Despenser's lands.

Hugh was captured at the Battle of Boroughbridge in 1322, and was saved from a hanging thanks to the pleas of his wife. He was imprisoned, and two months later Margaret was sent to Sempringham priory. She remained there until 1326, when Hugh escaped prison and she was released from Sempringham.

In the meantime, her daughter Joan Gaveston had been sent to Amesbury Priory. A marriage was arranged for Joan with the son of Thomas Multon, but the girl died in early 1325.

Hugh and Margaret were reunited sometime in 1326. In summer 1336, their only daughter, Margaret Audley, was abducted by Ralph Stafford, 1st Earl of Stafford. Her parents filed a complaint, but King Edward III of England supported Stafford. He appeased Hugh and Margaret by creating Hugh Earl of Gloucester.

Margaret died in April 1342 and her sister Elizabeth de Clare paid for prayers to be said for her soul at Tonbridge priory.
 
De Clare, Margaret (I3758)
