Father Rapes His Infant Daughter
Thursday, September 4, 2008 at 3:11AM 
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.

i agree to that ?
I very rarely respond to or comment on things I've read on the internet...but are you actually undermining what this monster did? You say you are expecting hate for your comment...well, your expectations are warranted 100% as it is absolutely foul that you could justify in some way/shape/form what this beast did.
No one said that serial murderers and the like were any better than him...YOU brought it up...YOU...no one else. The amount of disgust I have for you right now is similar to the amount I have for the man who committed this act.
Death and Hell aren't even bad enough for this creep.
You said you have three children and my guess is that if this had happened to one of you kids when they were 8 days old you would not be sitting there saying ,oh this guys needs help maybe he didn't know better. It is a proven fact that with people who abuse children it is not a sexual thing and is not curable even chemical castration will not fix the urge to do the things they do. This man should should be put in general population in prison and let the other inmates take care of him.
The bond was too low. I hope he gets raped in prison and dies!!!
I SURE HOPE PLEADING INSANITY DOESN'T HELP THIS MONSTER.
He is a sick f***.... He should be castrated, raped, beaten, and tortured to death for what he did!!!
You are also a sick f***!!! You gonna take his side????? Mayb we should castrate you too! You f***in bastard!
Yeah the baby deserved it!!! FUCK THE BABY!!! Don't come into the world if no one wants u!
He should be rewarded! FUCK BABIES
yeah i knew reginald davis i stopped hanging with him
he tried to fight me and my brother one day i shouldve kicked him in the mother fucking face and knocked his teeth down his fucking throat
anybody wanna know more bout him email me at snowby22@yahoo.com i lived down the road from him
the man was mentally retarded, he didn't know when he was having sex with the 14 year old girl he would make a baby. all he knew was having sex makes his penis feel good, if his parents would have got him sterilised before he started to have sex that baby would have not been born. i feel bad for the child for what happened to it. i believe all mentally retarded people should be sterilised before adulthood so there won't be any babies born to the mentally retarded population.
