Father Rapes His Infant Daughter


View Larger Map

Reginald Davis, 18, of Forrest City, AR, has been accused of raping his 8-day-old baby daughter. Police also charged him with second-degree battery, because the baby also suffered a fractured skull in the attack, which occurred on Labor Day, Sept. 1, 2008. He was sent to St. Francis County Jail. At his first court appearance, the following Wednesday, the judge, citing the severity of the crime, raised his bail from $50,000 to $100,000.

According to police Davis was visiting with the 15-year-old mother of his daughter. The mother went into the bathroom to take a shower before going to bed. When she came out she found blood on her newborn baby. The girl and her family, accompanied by Davis, took the baby to Forrest City Medical Center where she was treated for rape and a fractured skull. The hospital also notified the police. It turned out that the little girl's injuries were so bad she was transferred to the Arkansas Children's Hospital in Little Rock. The police arrested Davis.

 



Investigators say that at the time of the attack, there were other people in the house. The case is still under investigation and it is unknown if any other arrests will be made. Reginald Davis, according to the police, has had no criminal record since turning 18. They could not comment on whether he had a juvenile record because that information could not be released under Arkansas state law.

Reginald Davis' mother said in a telephone interview that "he suffers from mental health issues." According to Dr. Allen Battle, a psychologist with the UT Medical group:

"Seeking a baby is extremely rare." He says "so many of the patience have been exposed to this behavior themselves. When they were kids in their formative stages."


According to the Children's Advocacy Center in Little Rock, Arkansas, recent reports of child sexual abuse is staggering:


  • 1 in 3 girls and 1 in 5 boys have been abused, with the average age being 3-years-old

  • 96% of the abusers are someone the child knows, loves and trusts

  • 75 cases were reported in 2000, 471 cases were reported in 2007



Davis is being held on a $100,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in circuit court on September 17.

Kill him. Rip off his balls and let him bleed to death.

September 5, 2008 | Unregistered Commenterpeaches

I say you put him in a cell with lots of big guys and let them rape him to death. But make his death VERY PAINFUL AND SLOW!!!!!!!!11

September 5, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterSissy

Most likely he will sit and rest in a hospital ward for the mentally ill, instead of getting what he really deserves... A SLOW & PAINFUL DEATH. Ocurrences like this make me pray that there is a HELL for him to BURN IN!

I highly doubt he will last in prison, there are ALOT of fathers in prison, when they find out what he's in prison for he's DONE. someone in prison will either kill him or rape him or both. he will go to hell for what he did....that kid deserves to GET RAPED IN THE ASS!!!

As someone who was raped by her father when I was 5 and other sexual abuse when I was younger, and also raped later in life by a neighbor, I feel able to make some comment on this crime. I have to say that things are more complex then the revenge mentality you mostly seem to share. My feeling are that this boy should receive the mental counceling he obviously needs AND He needs to be confined in some way so that he can never do such a heinus thing again. And that's all.

I never wanted my father terribly hurt [or even mother - who damaged me in worse ways then my father- though always after he did something nasty to her]Anyway - I desperately wanted it all to stop. or that I could leave them while they made their own living hell. But I only wanted my father dead when I'd been caught running away and beaten for it. And that was ONLY because I thought I'd never get away. But eventually I did and I didn't much care to hurt him- oh , I would have liked some acknowledgment of what he did. Maybe some "I'm sorry for not believing you and getting you help and a way out of that household" And certainly some small punishment- or at least some forced counceling and some type of monitoring or comfinement so he could never do it to anyone else. But mostly I just wanted him gone- out of my life.

- So you see as both a child and an adult, I've never wanted the sort of brutality you are calling for.

It's interesting - I remember my father saying things like what you say- "Kill him. Rip off his balls and let him bleed to death." and all the others like it. He had a mindset of revenge toward those who hurt children- despite the fact he raped me. I can remember the last time he did it- He was always drunk when he did it- and he finally SAW what he was doing to me- I guess it was because it was the first time he had left severe bruises and enough blood that he had to change the sheets a couple times to hide my blood. It was Ironic because he had just been ranting about some guy who'd beaten his kid to death and Dad had been freaky angry about it whenever it was on the news. But whatever dad said about the other guy he was still changing my bloody sheets that very night.

Anyway- the point is, he was always loudly calling for some brutal end to come to anyone who touched a kid- so when I look at your nasty endings for this sick young man- I wonder why you would want brutality that would cause more pain for all the innocents involved[ parents, friends, even the child herself? Are you hiding something too? Do you want this cycle of violence to continue?

As an abused child- it was hard for me to be a good parent- I tried . And I don't think I was bad- but I know I wasn't as good a parent as my children DESERVED. Because there would be instinct that I sometimes followed [until I realized who I was coping as a parenting style

Mrs. Bork
YOU NEED SOME HELP...NOT NOW BUT RIGHT NOW!!!!!THIS IS ABOUT A INNOCCENT BABY! STAY ON THE TOPIC. THIS BLOG IS NOT THE FORUM FOR YOU TO PURGE YOUR STUFF. GET SOME HELP.

REGARDING THIS DAVIS FELLOW, IF THE PEOPLE KNEW HE WAS CRAZY WHY LEAVE HIM WITH A NEW BORN? CRAZY PEOPLE DON'T ALWAYS DEVELOP THE SAME FAMILIAL BONDS "SANE" PEOPLE DO. THEY DON'T ALWAYS HAVE THE ABILITY TO RATIONALIZE AND USE SOUND JUDGMENT. IF HE'S TRULY CRAZY, HE MAY NOT REALIZE THE IMPACT OF RAPING A NEW BORN BABY.

lAST POINT:
WHO GOT NAKED AND SCREWED HIM? SHE MIGHT BE CRAZY AS HELL TOO.

I ARGEE WITH YOU. ONE HE IS 18 WITH A BABY BY A 15 YEAR OLD, TWO THERE WERE PEOPLE IN THE HOUSE WHEN HE DID THIS CRIME AND NO ONE CAME TO THE AID OF THIS BABY WHO HAD TO BE SCREAMING AS HE FORCED HIMSELF IN HER AND THREE IF THE MOTHER KNOW THAT HE HAD MENTAL PROBLEMS WHY IN THE HELL WOULD SHE LEAVE HER BABY IN REGARDLESS IF HE IS THE FATHER. THEN HE ACTED AS IF IT WAS OK TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL AFTER HE COMMITTED THE CRIME. THERE WAS DEFINITELY A CRIME COMMITTED AND THAT IS SIMPLY SOME PEOPLE HAVING UNPROTECTED SEX.

September 17, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterCharlene

Thank you Mari for stating that because you took the words straight from my mouth...its by human nature to want to see the guy suffer for his actions but who are we to judge? God says his sin, as big as we may think it is, is no bigger than for us to lust after someone, or drink alcohol, or lie, or think bad thoughts!! Jesus died for ALL sins for EVERYONE but you have to accept Him as your saviour and repent. Now granted he will be penalized by our justice system and they'll do whatever to him but if he gets himself right with God the spiritual justification is done and for all you "professing Christians" if he does take that leap of faith then be prepared to see him in heaven :)...JUSTIFICATION = just as if it never happened.

September 20, 2009 | Unregistered Commenterlindzayp

I am completely speechless/disgusted/outraged and so many other things I couldn't say them all!!! Seriously, what in the hell is this world coming to!!! What is wrong w/ people??? The boys mother claims he is mentally ill, well I guess so!!! Does it take this to happen for someone to get this kid some help?!!! Mari, I agree w/ you. I believe that, as hard as it is, we are not in the position to judge anyone. "He who is free of sin shall cast the first stone". I know that most of our sins are not as severe as this boy's sin is but that is not for us to judge, that is for our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, to judge.

On another note, I don't know if I would have the same opinion if someone, anyone, had done (or ever does) this to one of my own children. I would probably spend the rest of my life in prison for killing the person myself. I have three beautiful children and I don't know what I would do if someone ever hurt them in any way as severe as this boy did his own innocent daughter!!!

September 21, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterDutchess

This is a shame that somone would do something like that because how could he do something liketis and know one knowsa about and how it happened and also if the mom was in the bathroom where was the other people in tha house becasue with a 8 day old baby a grandmotyher or somebody should have been there and another thing why was his ass niot in jail anyway becsuae he is toold to getting on if t mother anyay so he should have been in jail and this would not have happened but that man would be getting burned alive if it was me,

This is one of the sickest stories I have ever heard.
First of all, the baby is 8 days old, she must have only been HOME from the hospital 6-7 DAYS. This disgusting "man" had to have been near this TINY precious infant when he had the disgusting idea to remove her DIAPER and have sex with her. It's sick. He should be raped with a hot curling iron numerous times. See if he likes it.

September 26, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterAllie

Is anyone not concerned with who else was in the house at the time this occured. I'm sure others would have heard the baby's cries... why didn't anyone do anything??? Something about this story sounds odd to me.

But I feel horrible about the baby. I am a new mother and it brought tears to my eyes reading this story... I don't know what I would do if someone had done something like that to my daughter....words can't even discribe how disgusted I am with this!

September 26, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

Medical castration should be the only course of action upon the first instance of pedophelia, child incest or rape.

September 27, 2009 | Unregistered Commenterbobby
