FARMINGTON HILLS (WWJ) – A Metro Detroit doctor who has worked with youth hockey programs in Michigan and Minnesota over the past two decades has been arrested and charged with sexual misconduct.
Dr. Zvi Levran is charged with four counts of third-degree CDC and three counts of fourth-degree CSC.
The charges come after a 19-year-old man filed a criminal complaint following a medical exam at the doctor’s home in Farmington Hills on Oct. 18. Prosecutors allege Levran sexually assaulted the patient during the exam.
Levran was arraigned Saturday and ordered held on $100,000. The doctor has pleaded not guilty.

May not treat patients at his home office

Following the arraignment, Dr. Levran was transported to the Oakland County Jail, where he remains in custody.
