Wayne County, Michigan, man charged with sexual assault of teen in Port Huron
A Wayne County, Michigan, man has been charged with first-degree criminal sexual conduct after he reportedly raped a teen girl in the back of his car.
Mansoor Obaid, 22, of Hamtramck, reportedly contacted the victim and two other teenagers who live Port Huron through Instagram and made arrangements to meet with them, according to a probable cause affidavit.
Obaid reportedly drove from Hamtramck to Port Huron and picked up the victim and the other two teens on Feb. 4, 2024.

The affidavit states Obaid dropped off two teenagers at an unknown location, then drove the victim to a parking lot and forced her into the back seat of his car. Obaid reportedly raped the victim and forced her to perform sex acts on him while he made a video recording of the assault, court records stated.
The incident was later reported to the Port Huron Police Department and the victim underwent a sexual assault nurse examination to produce a SANE kit. The evidence was given to Michigan State Police for a lab analysis which allegedly found Obaid's DNA.
He was arraigned on May 16 and was given a $500,000 cash/surety bond.
Obaid has been charged with three counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct involving a victim between the ages of 13 and 17, each punishable with up to life in prison.
Public Defense Attorney Joseph Kanan, who is representing Obaid, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
A probable cause conference is scheduled for May 27 before District Court Judge John Monaghan.
