ALACHUA – Two individuals have been arrested following an investigation by the Alachua Police Department into alleged criminal conduct involving juvenile victims.
Chiarel Davis, 38, of Chiefland, faces multiple charges, including sexual assault by a person 24 or older on a victim aged 16 or 17, traveling to meet a minor, interference with the custody of a minor, and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
According to police, Davis is accused of engaging in sexual activity with a juvenile, providing marijuana to the minor, and sending sexually explicit messages and images. Investigators say she also arranged unsupervised meetings with the victim without parental consent.
Nicholas Scott, 35, of Gainesville, is charged with using a two-way communication device to facilitate a felony and distributing obscene material to a minor. Authorities allege that Scott sent explicit images to one of the victims and communicated with the minor in violation of Florida law.
The investigation began after a report was made by a concerned parent. Police said both suspects were known to the victims and had previously interacted with the families under the pretense of friendship.
“Due to the sensitive nature of the crimes and to protect the identities of the victims, no further information will be released,” said Alachua Police Chief Jesse Sandusky.
The Alachua Police Department expressed gratitude to the assisting agencies that contributed to the investigation. Anyone with additional information or who may be a victim is encouraged to contact Detective Jacob Eady at 386-588-3328 or jeady@alachuapd.org.
