Daggett man pleads no contest to CSC charges

Sentencing set for November

MENOMINEE COUNTY - A Daggett man who faced almost a dozen counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct (CSC) alongside his fiancé has entered a plea.

Travis Scott Thiry, 45, was initially charged with 11 felony counts of first-degree CSC involving a person under the age of 13; one felony count of second-degree CSC involving a person under the age of 13; one felony count of conspiracy to commit a legal act in an illegal manner; one felony count of delivering a controlled substance -- a narcotic or cocaine -- to a minor; one felony count of accosting children for immoral purposes; and one misdemeanor count of selling or furnishing alcohol to a minor.

Most recently, Thiry appeared in the Menominee County 41st Circuit Court and pleaded no contest to two counts of first-degree CSC involving a person under the age of 13, according to court documents.

In exchange for his plea, the prosecution dismissed all other charges against Thiry in the case.

Court records list Thiry as a fourth-time habitual offender.

Thiry entered his plea after Rocquel Anne Irving, 39, appeared in the 41st Circuit Court in July and pleaded guilty to one count of first-degree CSC involving a person under the age of 13.

According to Thiry’s social media, the pair are engaged.

Irving initially faced three counts of first-degree CSC involving a person under the age of 13, three counts of conspiracy to commit first-degree CSC, one count of second-degree CSC, one count of accosting children for immoral purposes, one count of gross indecency between females and one count of selling or furnishing alcohol to a minor.

In exchange for Irving's plea, the prosecution agreed to dismiss all other charges against her.

Irving also agreed to testify against Thiry at his jury trial that was set to begin Oct. 12, prior to the trial being called off due to Thiry's plea.

Irving was sentenced in the Menominee County 41st Circuit Court on Sept. 4 to a minimum prison term of 20 years to a maximum prison term of 60 years, with credit for 219 days' incarcerated, according to court documents.

The charges against the couple stem from an investigation by the Menominee County Sheriff's Office that resulted in detectives and deputies executing a search warrant at a residence in Lake Township on Jan. 28.

According to the Sheriff's Office, the investigation had been underway for approximately one week before the search warrant was executed.

Irving and Thiry were subsequently arrested and lodged in the Menominee County Jail on $750,000 cash bonds.

Menomonee County Prosecuting Attorney Jeffrey T. Rogg released more information on the case - in which Thiry is also allegedly involved — following Irving's sentencing.

Rogg announced Irving’s sentence follows the sexual assault of Irving’s 12-year-old daughter, who endured abuse over several months in late 2025 and early 2026.

According to Rogg, the child “came forward with great courage and sacrificed her own privacy to make a permanent change for herself and likely others.”

Irving is said to have groomed the child with alcohol, drugs and pornography before sexually assaulting her, according to court documents.

Thiry is set to be sentenced by 41st Circuit Court Judge Christopher S. Ninomiya on Nov. 6.

Thiry has resided in jail following his sentencing in a different case. In April, he was sentenced to a minimum of 23 months in prison, with a maximum term of five years, after pleading guilty to one felony count of second-degree fleeing a police officer.
