A Detroit man already awaiting trial on charges connected to the disappearance and death of 13-year-old Na’Ziyah Harris is now facing additional charges for the sexual assault of another child.
Jarvis Ramon Butts, 42, was charged with first-degree and second-degree criminal sexual conduct involving a child who was eight years old at the time of the alleged assaults, which took place in 2021 and 2022 at an auto repair shop on East Warren Avenue in Detroit. Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy announced the charges, and Butts was arraigned and remanded to jail.
Butts is separately awaiting a jury trial on charges that include murder in connection with the homicide of Na’Ziyah Harris, a 13-year-old who was last seen getting off her school bus in Detroit on January 9, 2024. Her body has never been found. The murder trial, which prosecutors say could involve 40 or more witnesses, was scheduled for February 23, 2026.
Cases like this one illustrate a pattern investigators encounter with some frequency: as one investigation develops, additional victims and offenses come to light. The ability to connect disparate incidents, track behavioral patterns across time and location, and surface links between cases is increasingly central to how investigators build a complete picture of a suspect’s conduct.
The new charges against Butts were filed separately and move through their own court process, with a probable cause conference and preliminary exam both scheduled for October 2025. His murder trial remains on a separate track.
