Kamal Abou Darwiche (Dearborn Heights Police)
DEARBORN HEIGHTS, Mich. (FOX 2) - Dearborn Heights police say a 62-year-old man is facing felony charges after a missing teen girl was found with him earlier this year.
The backstory:
Police said the 16-year-old girl, who was reported missing from Vista Maria in March, was discovered in Kamal Abou Darwiche's home in the area of Inkster Roads and Warren Avenues more than a month after she ran away from the facility.
After the girl was found safe, police said they were investigating whether the child had been sexually abused. On Tuesday, more details about the case were revealed when police submitted a warrant request for child sexually abusive activity against Darwiche. According to the charging request, Darwiche allegedly made or attempted to make child porn, but the extent of the crimes is unknown.
