Both men are facing charges in Genesee and Tuscola counties.
In Genesee County, Digiacomo is charged with three counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct, one count of second-degree CSC, three counts of third-degree CSC, one count of assault with a dangerous weapon, and one count of felony firearm.
In Tuscola County, he is charged with two counts of first-degree CSC, one count of second-degree CSC, two counts of third-degree CSC, and one count of fourth-degree CSC.
Digiacomo's bond was set at $200,000 cash/surety.
In Genesee County, Maule pleaded guilty to two counts of third-degree CSC and one count of fourth-degree CSC.
In Tuscola County, he pleaded guilty to three counts of third-degree CSC, one count of assault with a dangerous weapon, and one count of felony firearm.
