Trial scheduled for Farmington Hills woman charged with sex crimes against juveniles at Wayne County Detention Center – The Oakland Press

A trial is scheduled in Wayne County for a Farmington Hills woman accused of sex crimes involving teenagers at a detention center.

Jury selection for the case against Svetlana Kuryanova in 3rd Judicial District Court in Detroit is scheduled to begin on January 27, 2025. Kuryanova, 33, is charged with second-degree sexual misconduct stemming from alleged incidents that occurred last April at the Wayne County Juvenile Detention Center in Hamtramck, where she was employed as a juvenile corrections specialist. According to the Wayne County Prosecutor's Office, the alleged victims were 16 and 17 years old at the time.

If convicted, she could face up to 15 years in prison.

After Kuryanova's arrest, Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy said, “The allegations in this case are among the most disturbing I have ever seen.”

The alleged incidents were investigated by the Wayne County Sheriff's Office.
