    A 69-year-old former doctor who is already behind bars for sexual abuse
    crimes in Michigan is facing a slew of new charges in Minnesota.

    Zvi Levran was charged with six counts of criminal sexual conduct
    stemming from his time in Otter Tail County where he served as a
    "hockey doctor" for youth hockey players.

    Local investigators began looking into Levran after he was charged with
    28 separate counts related to numerous incidents of sexual abuse in
    Michigan.

    He was first charged in 2022 for assaulting a teenage boy during a
    medical examination, and after that, multiple other victims came
    forward.

    The most recent charges stem from several alleged incidents of abuse
    that took place from 2014 to 2016, involving two youth hockey players
    when Levran was practicing medicine in Fergus Falls.

    Levran is currently being held in the Oakland County Jail in Pontiac,
    Michigan and was sentenced to 10-25 years in prison in April 2025.

    If you or someone you know has been sexually abused, the National Sexual Assault Hotline is available 24/7 to anonymously report abuse or seek
    support at 800-656-4673.
