Sex Abuse Arrest

The Seneca County Sheriff’s Office reports that on 2/13/19 at about 6pm, the Criminal Investigations Division arrested Scott P. Davis, age 29, of 1390 Middle Blackbrook Rd., Seneca Falls N.Y., following an extensive and lengthy investigation spanning 6 months into alleged sexual abuse. Investigators say that that the arrest of Davis is the second in a matter of months.

As previously reported, Davis was arrested on 12/19/18 for charges of Rape in the 2nd degree, Criminal Sexual Act in the 2nd degree, and Endangering the Welfare of a Child. The Rape in the 2nd degree and Criminal Sexual Act in the 2nd degree charges are from a second victim who was 13 years old at the time. These crimes occurred between 2010 and 2012.

Investigators report that the newest round of charges against Davis are Predatory Sexual Assault of a Child (class A-II felony), 2 counts each of Criminal Sex Act in the 1st degree (class B felony), Rape in the 1st degree (class B felony), and Sexual Abuse in the 1st degree (class D Felony). These charges allege that Davis subjected a child under the age of eleven to sexual contact on multiple occasions in the Town of Tyre. The charges are alleged to have occurred in late 2017 into early 2018.

Throughout the course of the investigation, Investigators followed up on numerous leads, interviewed several witnesses and potential victims in the Seneca County area which resulted in identifying an additional victim that resulted with the crimes charged on 12/19/18. Investigators were assisted by the Wayne Co. Sheriff’s Office and the Seneca Falls Police Dept.
Davis was arraigned in the Seneca County Centralized Arraignment Court on 2/13/19 at 7pm. Davis was held without bail due to the severity of the charges.  Davis is to reappear in the Seneca County Court at a later date.

Investigators believe that there may be additional victims and ask anyone who has information related to the investigation into Davis to call Inv. John Nesbit at 315-220-3442.
