A 22-year-old Northville Township man has been charged with multiple felonies involving a juvenile victim, according to police.
Charles Willis was arraigned on April 30, 2025, at the 35th District Court on charges including kidnapping, enticing a female under 16 for immoral purposes, and criminal s.xual conduct. His bond was set at $1 million cash (no 10%), and he remains held at the Wayne County Jail.
Police say the charges stem from an incident that began on April 25, when Willis contacted a 14-year-old girl through Snapchat.
He allegedly arranged and paid for an Uber to bring the girl to his home from more than 2 hours away.
Investigators say the victim was instructed to stay in the basement of Willis’ home. Around 5:30 a.m. on April 27, she was found walking alone near Seven Mile and Sheldon roads.
Officers executed a search warrant at Willis’ home later that day and arrested him.
Detectives say Willis has a history of prior contact with law enforcement over similar allegations involving minor females, though those cases were unrelated to this incident.
The Northville Township Police Department is actively investigating and urges anyone with information or concerns to contact their Detective Bureau at (248) 349-9400
