In another rape case, a minor told police that she was repeatedly raped by Lawrence Lawrence for a year.
Lawrence, 22, is charged with 10 counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct as a first-degree felony, 10 counts of second-degree criminal sexual conduct as a first-degree felony, and two counts of assault to commit a criminal sexual conduct as a third-degree felony.
