Elyria man indicted for child sex trafficking

Posted: Updated:
CLEVELAND, OH (WOIO) -

A four-count indictment has been filed against Timothy Davis related to juvenile sex trafficking.

 

 

Davis, 41, lives in Elyria. He is charged with three counts of juvenile sex trafficking and one count of attempting to destroy evidence.

 

Between September 2010 and February 2011, Davis knowingly recruited, enticed, harbored, transported, provided, obtained and maintained by any means a juvenile identified as "H.M." for commercial sex acts, in reckless disregard of the fact that "H.M." had not attained the age of 18 years, according to the indictment.

In December 2010, Davis transported "H.M." from Cleveland to Jacksonville, Florida to engage in prostitution and commercial sex acts, in reckless disregard of the fact that "H.M." had not attained the age of 18 years, according to the indictment.

This case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney James V. Moroney after an investigation by the Cleveland Federal Bureau of Investigation's Violent Crimes Task Force.
