PONTIAC, Mich. - On Monday, September 30, 2024, Oakland County Prosecutor KAREN D. McDONALD issued additional criminal charges against 68-year-old Zvi Levran.

These charges stem from two separate incidents. The first incident is alleged to have occurred in Farmington Hills between 2018 and 2019.

Charges related to this incident include Aggravated Child Sexually Abusive Activity and Aggravated Possession of Child Sexually Abusive Material.

"This individual used his position of trust to prey on vulnerable teenagers,” stated Oakland County Prosecutor Karen McDonald. “I commend the bravery of all those who have come forward, which takes immense strength to do. My office will continue to work vigorously to hold this defendant and all other individuals who engage in such behaviors accountable to the fullest extent under the law.”
