Father Charged with Rape of 8 Day-Old Baby in Arkansas

(Booking Photo: Reginald Davis)

FORREST CITY, AR – Police say a Forrest City, Arkansas man has been charged with raping his 8 day-old baby.

According to a police report, officers were called to the Forrest City Medical Center, September 1, 2008, about a baby that had been sexually assaulted. Forrest City police say the baby also had a skull fracture and had to be transferred to the Arkansas Children’s Hospital in Little Rock because of the severity of the injuries.

Investigators say the father attacked the infant during a visit at her 15 year-old mother's house. Police say other people were at the home at the time of the assault.

Police say Davis had no criminal record since turning 18, but could not say whether Davis had a juvy wrap-sheet. The information could not be released under Arkansas state law, said investigators.

Police say the infant’s father, 18 year-old Reginald Davis, has been charged with Rape and Second-Degree Battery. The case is still under investigation and it is unknown if any other arrests will be made, said Forrest City Police.

He should have no rights to a fair trial. If he gets jail time he's more likely not to get enough, then when he gets out he is probably gonna do it again. If he does go to jail he's getting a free place to stay and 3 meals a day on to which taxpayers are paying for. In my own personal opinion and I think others would agree, that child molesters doesn't get the right kinda punishment that deserve. Child molestation to me is worse than murder because that child has to live with the memory what has been done to him or her for the rest of their life! September 5, 2008 9:48 AM
	PRobinson1 said: I think that this guy is very very sick, seriously. I also think he needs not to around people, of any age. I don 't care that he hasn't had an arrest record, that's like saying it's okay for "a serial killer to kill his first 15 victims, but, it's okay because he has no record!" and move on. That is very disgusting, and to do that to his own child is even more sick! He needs to be put under the jail, under the foundation of the jail, down below the basement!!! September 5, 2008 5:38 PM
	Tigress2008 said: This monster should be taken out and shot! How could anyone do this to a 8 day old infant! I'm disgusted and mad! September 10, 2008 9:29 PM
	Michaelcc said: I can only hope that if he ever gets out of jail that someone takes it apon themselves to either beat him to death or at least until he can walk or move any more And if he doesn't get out I hope that he gets what he did to that poor child done back to him a hundred times over I hope he is someones *** right now September 15, 2008 12:03 AM
	Sherman said: Something is mentally wrong with him. How can you even insert in a 8 day old? I wish the justice system would stop wasting our tax dollars and just insistantly kill people like him. Give him three days to repent One for the Father Son and Holy then put him to sleep. September 16, 2008 1:58 AM
	fatman said: I hope that they put this man in prison. He won't last a year. Even criminals have a code of ethics, and they hate child molesters. September 17, 2008 12:17 PM

He would be a dead brother and i would have a MURDER CHARGE !!!!!!!!! I hope they do to him in jail what he did to that innocent baby. September 26, 2008 12:21 PM
	ldysaber said: I CAN'T IMAGE, I CRIED WHEN READING THIS WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED. THIS MAN IS A SICKO AND SHOULD BE PUNISHED TO THE HIGHEST DEGREE ALLOWED. GOD WILL DO THE FINAL JUDGING ON THIS MAN---JUST GET HIM OFF THE STREET AND OUT OF SOCIETY SO THE REST OF THE WORLD CAN LIVE A LITTLE SAFER FOR AWHILE. THERE WILL ALWAYS BE PEOPLE LIKE HIM, BUT SLOWLY, BUT SURELY MAYBE WE CAN DO AWAY WITH THESE PEOPLE. October 7, 2008 9:55 AM

	Denouncer said: Of course you are going to defend a family member. You are the one who are in denial. And your brother, if he is your brother, already committed a crime when he had sex with a minor, in order for her to become pregnant. There are ways to tell if he is the rapist dummy. Have you not heard of DNA. They obviously have proof on him, or he would not be locked up. Also there were people there when the rape occurred. Where you there in the room when the baby was raped. How about you show some concerned for the innocent baby. I have not read any where that you feel bad for your possible niece. And to think you say you have two daughters. If someone had raped one of your girls (God forbid) how you would feel if someone was trying to protect the accused, and not even mentioning the fact that your baby was raped. What kind of mother are you MOPNSTER November 14, 2008 9:47 AM
	jacklyn38 said: let me tell yall one dam thing how can u raped a baby wit a house full of people n while yall talkin her mother let him date her daughter n am not defendin my son how can u raped da baby .he whaten over there til dey call him n told him dat da baby waz bleedin between da leg den dat shyt happen dat night dey didnt take da baby to da hospital da next day now what kind of parent dat is wait da next mornin when u should have den took da baby to da hospital dat night n dats not his baby dat what she told me December 12, 2008 11:26 PM
	keyiona1 said: I understand that he is someone's son, brother, and relative,but that baby was someone's child also. That innocent baby didn't deserve none of this. Even though you may have kids, that doesn't mean a damn thing. Have you ever realized child molesters may not mess with their relatives, but with their own kids/someone else's. I don't know your brother/son, but what he's accused of doing is sickening. I wasn't there,so I don't know the truth. But, the prosecuters will in the long run.If he's acquitted in this charge, then holler back and let us know. Until then it is what it is. Also,since there were a housefull of people there, their sick asses need to be charged with something too. But, truly he better watch his ***!!!(They don't like child killers or molesters).

	KHaLLi said: There are certain types of people who get dealt with "in house"= jail/prison or street justice even: Child molesters and rapists are at the top of the list. So whoever teh perpetrator is will get their just due. Believe that. December 24, 2008 12:12 AM
	CSmith6369 said: It's just so sick that I really dont know what to say about it how can a father do that to his own child It's just sick he will get what coming to him in jail. January 13, 2009 10:51 AM
	Chelle said: I checked back on here to see if there were any updates... and am HORRIFIED at the family of this "man." If it wasn't Reginald Davis that did this cruel act, then they need to start looking at other family members and friends as SOMEONE in their "inner circle" was the perp!!! Whatever, it says something about this entire family. (And I STILL maintain it was a crime for him to have had sex with an underage girl....) It also says something about the state of Memphis' educational system that these two people are so obviously illiterate! It makes me shudder to see the spelling and grammatical errors. And I have to admit to grinning when I read the end of miesha17's post where she gave her version of "dumb." I guess we all have differing views on intelligence! Maybe the end result will be a good thing, for this baby. Perhaps the state will take custody of her and give her a family with values and provide her with a chance at a new life and an education..... March 6, 2009 2:55 PM
	JOYCE WYNN said: I THINK PEOPLE LIKE HIM NEED THE SAMETHING DONE TO THEM. HAVE SOMEONE SHOVE SOMETHING UP HIS *** SO HARD THAT HE WANTS TO DIE. WHAT THE HELL WAS THE MOTHER DOING. THAT'S WHY KIDS SHOULDN'T HAVE KIDS. THE MOTHER SHOULD HAVE THE SAME PUNISHMENT THAT THE FATHER GETS. THEY BOYH KNOW BETTER June 8, 2009 2:40 PM
	memphisteenmom said: Okay Chelle Memphis isn't a state and I on the other hand think that it was very sick im a mom of a four month old and I dare anyone to touch my baby sexually...I do say with all the people in the house how could this happen? July 28, 2009 2:36 PM

	VAproduct said: 8 DAYS OLD! What is wrong with the world? I couldn't imagine having a baby and violating something so innocent. I agree he should get the chair. I hope someone in the jail he goes to gives him the same treatment. 15 year old mother...how sad. October 24, 2009 3:37 PM
