Trial of Bay City woman charged with sexually assaulting 2-year-old girl to start Tuesday

Barring a last minute adjournment, the trial of a Bay City mother accused of sexually assaulting a toddler will begin Tuesday. Patricia M. Kreiner’s trial is slated to begin before Bay County Circuit Judge Harry P.
