PA Kids Among 80+ Groomed By California Man To Make Child Porn: Authorities

Over 80 children worldwide— between the ages of six and 13-years-old— were groomed by a California man to produce child porn— including five children from Pennsylvania, according to the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office said.

Demetrius Carl Davis, 24, posed as an 11-year-old girl called “Lizzy” to form online relationships with the children and convince them to perform and record sexual acts on other children in their lives, according to a report released by the sheriff’s Internet Crimes Against Children task force.

The task force received a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children about an online account with videos and photos.

The sheriff’s office executed a search warrant at Davis’ home in Dec. 2021— where they found “numerous recordings” of multiple cellphones and accounts Davis used to communicate with the children.

The identified victims live in 26 states: Alabama, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, Wisconsin, and Wyoming— as well as at least 15 victims in other countries.

Among the five Pennsylvania victims, one lives in Lancaster, three live in Philadelphia, and another victim lives in Tioga County, Fox43 reports citing authorities. 

The sheriff’s office does not believe all of the victims have been identified and thinks Davis may have contacted over 100 victims between late 2020 and December 2021.

Anyone with information or suspects their child might have been a victim is asked to contact the sheriff’s office by calling 916-874-3002 or by emailing ICAC@sacsheriff.com
