Mann, 69, accuses sex crime against young family members – the Oakland press

A 69-year-old man from Southfield is exposed to several criminal charges for supposedly sexual abuse by two children in his family.

The 69-year-old Lawrence Edward Miles is charged with a second degree because of three cases of criminal sexual behavior and two cases of sexual behavior because he attacked a boy and a girl under 10 years.

According to the public prosecutor's office in Oakland County, the charges are related to a number of attacks that took place in 2024 and 2025.

Miles takes place in the Oakland County prison. The bond was denied in his indictment on May 8th before the 46th district court.

The public prosecutor of Oakland County, Karen McDonald, said that the allegations are “extremely worrying”.

“Children deserve to grow up with abuse, including family members. I welcome the work of our partners in the Southfield Police Department and the Care House of Oakland County for their careful examination of this tragic case,” she said.

Law enforcement officers believe that there could be other victims. Therefore, anyone who is asked about additional crimes associated with it, possibly on Miles, will be asked to contact the Southfield Police Department under 248-796-5500.

Miles' next court date is May 22nd for a conference for probable causes.

The first degree sexual behavior with an obligatory minimum and std test with at least 25 years is behind bars, lifelong electronic surveillance and obligatory AIDS/STD tests to live in prison until life. The second degree sexual behavior is a punishment of up to 15 years in prison, lifelong electronic monitoring and obligatory AIDS/STD tests.
