Two Chalmette men arrested on sex charges involving young girls

CHALMETTE, La. - Two men have been arrested in the past week for sexual acts
involving young girls, the St. Bernard Parish Sheriff's Office announced
Thursday.

In one incident, 59-year-old Kevin Davis was booked with the sexual battery
and molestation of a three-year-old girl for whom he was babysitting.

According to the sheriff's office, the girl's mother reported that her child
said she had been touched inappropriately by Davis.

At the time of the arrest, Davis was out on bond for an obscenity arrest
last fall.

In a second, unrelated case, a 45-year-old man was arrested on charges of
aggravated incest with his nine-year-old stepdaughter.

Sheriff James Pohlmann said that the sex abuse happened over a two-year
period. The suspect, who has not been identified to protect the identity of
the victim, was also booked on two counts of sexual battery and one count of
indecent behavior with an 11-year-old friend of the stepdaughter.

That girl said she had been touched inappropriately when she spent a weekend
at the friend's house.

The incidents came to light when the 11-year-old's mother reported what
happened to her daughter and the 11-year-old told sheriff's detectives her
younger friend was also being touched by the step-father.
