Mount Clemens, MI — A 43-year-old Dearborn man will spend decades in prison after a Macomb County jury found him guilty of repeatedly sexually assaulting a child.
Macomb County Prosecutor Peter J. Lucido announced that Elie Otayek, a Dearborn resident, was sentenced following his conviction on multiple counts of Criminal Sexual Conduct tied to abuse that occurred over several years in Roseville, Michigan.

On Wednesday, January 21, 2026, Macomb County Circuit Court Judge James M. Maceroni sentenced Otayek to 300 to 480 months (25 to 40 years) in the Michigan Department of Corrections on two counts of First-Degree Criminal Sexual Conduct involving a victim under the age of 13. On a third count of Second-Degree Criminal Sexual Conduct, Otayek received a sentence of 99 to 180 months. The sentences will run concurrently, and he was credited with 62 days already served.
In addition to prison time, Otayek is required to register as a Tier III Sex Offender for life. He is also subject to Wyatt’s Law, Michigan’s database for individuals convicted of crimes involving children. The court further ordered Otayek to submit to HIV testing and to have no direct or indirect contact with the victim, including through third parties.
The case was prosecuted by Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Kelsey Heath on behalf of the People of the State of Michigan.
“This sentence reflects the extreme seriousness of the defendant’s crimes and the profound harm inflicted on one of the most vulnerable members of our community,” Prosecutor Lucido said. “Our office remains unwavering in its commitment to aggressively prosecute those who exploit and abuse children. We hope this outcome brings a measure of justice to the victim and sends a clear message that such conduct will be met with severe consequences to protect public safety.”
