NEW YORK, NY – An indictment has been recently announced against 54-year-old Michael Olson by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. Olson is accused of targeting a 14-year-old girl on Instagram, where he is alleged to have repeatedly supplied her with drugs and sexually abused her in hotel rooms in Queens and Manhattan.
The investigation, which is active and ongoing, has reportedly revealed similar contacts with several other minors. According to court documents, Olson began engaging with the 14-year-old girl on Instagram in December 2022, offering payment for her to spend time with him. The victim reportedly received around $700 a week for the next six months to engage in sexual conduct with Olson, who also took her on trips to Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and Miami.
The allegations came to light when the 14-year-old girl overdosed on drugs in a Manhattan hotel room on May 26, 2023. EMS technicians found her in the room with Olson and multiple narcotics. Olson was arrested at the scene while the victim was rushed to the hospital, where she has since recovered.
The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office is urging anyone with information to contact them at 212-335-3400.
