Jarvis Butts sentenced to 35–60 years for killing 13-year-old Na’Ziyah Harris and assaulting five girls.
Jarvis Butts, 43, was sentenced to 35 to 60 years in prison for the second-degree murder of 13-year-old Na’Ziyah Harris, who disappeared in January 2024, and five concurrent 10- to 15-year sentences for sexually assaulting five girls, ages 4 to 13.
He pleaded guilty as part of a plea deal that led to the dismissal of several charges, including the sexual assault count in Harris’s case.
Prosecutors said Harris was pregnant with Butts’s child at the time of her death, and he had groomed her since 2022, including searching online for abortion methods.
He has a prior sex crime conviction.
Butts will not be eligible for parole until after 35 years.
The Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office led the investigation across multiple counties.
