According to CBS News, prosecutors have charged Jarvis Butts with first-degree murder, second-degree criminal sexual conduct and child sexual abuse. Boots faces trial for murdering Na'Ziyah Harris. Judge Alia Sabree sent the case to the 3rd Circuit Court, describing Buts as “the monster in this picture.”

“She (Na'Ziyah) deserves love from her parents and everyone in her life. She was ignored. She was neglected and you took full advantage of that. She wanted someone to love her and she'll never know how that is. I pray for the healing of all the victims and the young girls and possibly the boys who have come across you,” Judge Sabree said.

Prosecutors argued that evidence, including testimony from one of Jarvis Booth's business partners in November 2024, cell tower tracking data and an eyewitness account of Booth being with Na'Ziyah on the night of her disappearance. In addition, several of Na'Ziyah's belongings were reportedly found in areas visited by Booth after her disappearance. Authorities have also previously charged Boots with sexually abusing two other girls on separate occasions.

Eight witnesses, including Na'Ziyah's grandmother and aunt, have testified. Na'Ziyah's aunt, Shannon Harris, testified that she never suspected anything inappropriate and believed that the relationship between Jarvis and Na'Ziyah was a typical uncle-niece relationship.
