   Last week, a Michigan judge ruled there’s enough evidence for a sex offender   
   to go on trial for murdering a 13-year-old girl last year after raping and   
   impregnating her.   
      
   Jarvis Butts, 41, the father of one of Na’Ziyah Harris’ cousins, allegedly   
   started grooming her with sexually-explicit texts in 2022. Harris allegedly   
   informed Butts in September 2023 that she missed her menstrual cycle even   
   though a pregnancy test    
   came back negative, text messages shown in court last week revealed, according   
   to WDIV.   
      
   “My period haven’t came at all,” Harris reportedly wrote to Butts, who   
   authorities claimed eventually responded, “OK.”   
      
   A month later, Harris asked to talk to Butts because she did not want to   
   “lose” him.   
      
   “I don’t what your problem but I need you to bring me what I need tonight   
   it’s hard doing all this gym s**t with this baby and if I don’t do em   
   I’m gonna get a F,” she also wrote, per WDIV.   
      
   Prosecutors have accused Butts of raping and impregnating Harris, who vanished   
   in January 2024. Before Harris’ presumed slaying, Butts allegedly searched   
   online about abortions, abortion pills, and drinking anti-freeze.

   Text messages suggested Butts told Harris he would pick her up from school on   
   January 9, 2024, the last day she was seen alive.   
      
   Butts is charged with Harris’ murder even though her body was never found.   
   However, Butts was traced to the Rouge River in Detroit a day after Harris’   
   disappearance. A single shoe belonging to Harris was found at the river,   
   according to WDIV.   
      
   Detroit Police Department Sgt. Melanie O’Rourke testified that Harris’   
   school identification card was found in the area where Butts’ phone was   
   traced between January 10 and 11, 2024. The Detroit News reported that   
   Harris’ clothes were also    
   discovered in the vicinity.   
      
   U.S. Border Patrol agent Wyatt Barnes testified that a black hoodie found in   
   the area had both Harris and Butts’ blood on it.   
      
   “All the evidence shows that something traumatic happened to her at the   
   hands of Jarvis Butts,” Assistant prosecutor Matthew Makepeace told the   
   court, according to The Detroit News.   
      
   Butts was convicted in 2005 of third-degree criminal sexual conduct. In that   
   case, he admitted to having sex with a child and was sentenced to seven years.   
   He is not only facing criminal charges for sexually abusing two other girls,   
   but prosecutors said    
   he assaulted an 8-year-old family member and transmitted chlamydia to his   
   girlfriend’s 4-year-old daughter.   
      
   “Mr. Butts targeted and befriended women to have sexual relationships with   
   their young daughters,” Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy said last year.   
   “He would have relations with their mothers, but his true desire was to have   
   sex with their young    
   daughters. He was a classic and expert groomer.”   
      
   Reports indicated that Harris’ family contacted Child Protective Services   
   about Butts before Harris’ disappearance as they believed he was having   
   inappropriate contact with her and other children.   
      
   Prosecutors believe Butts killed Harris because he did not want Harris having   
   his child while he was in custody for an unrelated gun case. Butts was   
   expected to turn himself in the same day Harris vanished, but the date was   
   pushed back to February 2024.
