Youth hockey players accuse Michigan doctor of criminal sexual conduct

Farmington Hills, Michigan, police arrested a local doctor for alleged sexual abuse Nov. 10. The accused, Dr. Zri Levran, is already being investigated for sexual misconduct from accusations brought forward in October.

Levran has a urology practice in West Bloomfield, Michigan, and has provided medical services to youth and school hockey organizations – including those in Farmington and Novi, Michigan – in Michigan and Minnesota for about 20 years.

In October, county prosecutors charged Levran with four counts of third degree criminal sexual conduct and three counts of fourth degree sexual misconduct. The new charges, brought by patients following the doctor's previous arrest, include one count of second degree criminal sexual conduct, one count of third degree criminal sexual conduct and eight counts of fourth degree criminal sexual conduct.

Levran is accused of abusing patients at his home office, not at his practice in West Bloomfield. All of his accusers are connected to youth hockey programs, and the first to come forward was a 19-year-old man.

The doctor was arraigned at the 47th District Court in Farmington Hills late Friday morning and was processed into the Oakland County (Michigan) Jail Friday. Magistrate Matthew Friedrich set bond at $1 million cash. If released on bond, Levran will be unable to live his home outside of going to work and will not be allowed to treat patients without supervision. As of Sunday afternoon, he was still listed as incarcerated.

A probable cause conference will take place 9:30 a.m. Dec. 7.

Farmington Hills police are asking anyone with information or knowledge of more assault survivors should call 248-871-2610.
