Jarvis Butts, a suspect in the Na'Ziyah Harris case, is also charged in connection with the 2013 sexual assault of a girl when she was 12 years old, according to the Wayne County Prosecutor's Office.

Butts, 42, of Detroit, is facing first-degree criminal sexual conduct of a person under age 13 and third-degree criminal sexual conduct in this specific case. Butts was arraigned on June 30 in the 24th District Court, and bond was set at $500,000 or a 10% bond. 

A probable cause conference is set for July 7. 

The victim in the 2013 case lived in New Boston at the time, and the assault happened at a home in Allen Park. 

"More complete facts and evidence will be placed on the record in court at the preliminary examination," Worthy said in her statement. 

In 2024, Butts was charged with murder, criminal sexual conduct and child sexually abusive activity in connection with Na'Ziyah's death. The 13-year-old was last seen on Jan. 9, 2024, getting off her school bus at the corner of Cornwell and Three Mile Drive in Detroit. Her body has not been found.

Butts is accused of having an inappropriate relationship with the teen.

The case is heading to trial this fall, with the jury selection expected to begin on Oct. 6.
