  • Ronnell Agee, a 37-year-old Detroit man, is accused of holding a 14-year-old girl hostage for 10 days in his home, sexually assaulting her multiple times.
  • Officials state the girl was held captive between March 3 and 10, with windows boarded up and doorknobs removed, and Agee allegedly used knives to threaten her family.
  • The victim was reportedly released only after Agee saw social media posts about her disappearance; the two did not know each other prior to the incident.
  • Agee faces multiple charges, including four counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct, kidnapping, and delivery of marijuana to a minor.
  • Agee was recently out on bond for a separate incident involving threatening his wife with a gun and has previous convictions and a diagnosed mental illness.
