LAWRECNCEVILLE — A man was denied bail Monday in the case of a North Carolina teenager who was found in a Georgia home Saturday after disappearing more than a year ago.

Local news media report that 31-year-old Michael Wysolovski sat emotionless in a Gwinnett County courtroom as a magistrate judge read the charges. He did not enter a plea.

Wysolovski is charged with false imprisonment, interference with custody, aggravated sodomy, and first degree cruelty to children. It’s not clear if he has an attorney to speak for him. Supporters declined to speak to reporters as they left court Monday. His next court appearance is July 7.

FBI spokeswoman Shelley Lynch said Sunday that the victim, now 17, was reunited with her parents after being found in Duluth, about 30 miles northeast of Atlanta. The Associated Press isn’t naming her or her parents because it doesn’t usually identify victims of sexual assault.

Police say the girl made contact Friday with a woman online in Romania and told her she was being held against her will. The girl didn’t know where she was, but the Romanian woman contacted her parents in North Carolina. Shizuo Kambayashi / The Associated Press
