A Detroit man is back behind bars after an arraignment on fresh charges accusing him of sexually assaulting his now ex-girlfriend’s two young daughters. The criminal complaints say the girls, ages 8 and 9, reported repeated assaults that investigators believe took place over the course of several months.
New charges and previous case
According to FOX 2 Detroit, 32-year-old Denzielle Burt was first charged in 2025 with criminal sexual conduct involving a child under 13. He posted bond in June 2025 on a $250,000 bond with 10% cash. Prosecutors say the new complaint adds multiple counts of Criminal Sexual Conduct tied to separate incidents involving the two girls. Burt has pleaded not guilty to the latest charges.
Arraignment and magistrate response
At an arraignment in 36th District Court this week, Magistrate Delphia Burton ordered Burt remanded to custody and called the allegations “very serious,” according to FOX 2 Detroit. The outlet reports that Burton found Burt posed a danger to the alleged victims and ruled that he should remain locked up while the case moves forward.
Public records and booking logs
Public court records and booking information appear to back up the timeline described in local coverage. An official docket lists an entry under “BURT/DENZIELLE/LEVON,” and a Macomb County booking log shows a July 3, 2025 booking for “Denzielle Burt.” Those entries can be found through the 36th District Court and a public ledger on arrests.org.
What happens next
The new counts remain allegations, and Burt is presumed innocent unless and until he is proven guilty in court. Under Michigan law, sexual assaults on children are treated as serious felonies, and prosecutors must first navigate preliminary examinations and probable-cause hearings before any trial date is set.
Local context
Detroit authorities have flagged a string of child-focused sex crime investigations this year, and the city has seen several other high-profile prosecutions involving minors. In a separate case earlier in the year, Jarvis Butts, who pleaded guilty in a prosecution tied to the death and sexual assaults of a 13-year-old, drew widespread local attention, as reported by CBS Detroit.
Anyone with information related to the allegations is urged to contact the Detroit Police Department’s Sex Crimes Unit or the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office. Both agencies provide reporting options and victim resources on their websites, including contact details and guidance. See the Detroit Police Department and the Wayne County Prosecutor's Office for more information.
