Police say the investigation is active with a focus on how the teen reached the suspect’s home.

Overview

  • Authorities say a 14-year-old was held for about 10 days in a west-side Detroit home and sexually assaulted multiple times.
  • Prosecutors describe methods of control that included boarded windows, removed doorknobs, knives kept by the bed, and threats against the girl’s family.
  • Officials say the suspect let her leave after seeing social media posts and news reports that named her as missing.
  • Wayne County prosecutors have charged Ronnell Agee with first- and third-degree criminal sexual conduct, kidnapping, delivery of marijuana to a minor, and harboring a runaway.
  • Court records reported by local outlets show Agee was recently free on bond in a separate case alleging he pointed a gun at his wife.
