Overview
- The federal complaint, filed in the Eastern District of Michigan, names William Aaron Asper, his living trust, and REPSA Enterprises LLC.
- Prosecutors allege he sought sexual contact in exchange for housing benefits and retaliated against women who refused through eviction threats and withheld repairs.
- The suit describes unwelcome comments, exposure, groping, and unwanted touching affecting multiple tenants from 2018 through 2025 at properties in and around Westland.
- The Justice Department seeks monetary relief for tenants, civil penalties, and a court order barring future discrimination, with the matter proceeding as a civil case.
- Asper denies the allegations; court records show a 2019 no-contest plea to attempted aggravated stalking in Wayne County.
