A short video making the rounds online shows a man in a DoorDash uniform talking to a 12-year-old boy outside a Winston-Salem home, then trying to flirt before the child quickly shuts the door. The boy’s mother later called police about the encounter, and the clip has been shared widely in local social media groups. The incident is fueling fresh questions about how delivery workers are vetted and how gig platforms respond when minors are involved.
What the video shows
According to Charlotte Alerts News, the clip, posted today, shows the man asking the boy, "You are beautiful are you taken?" The boy then retreats into the home and shuts the door. The outlet reports that the boy’s mother called police and that the man identified himself as a DoorDash driver. The story did not state that an arrest was made immediately after the exchange.
Registry records tied to the man
Public registry listings for a man named in that reporting, Giavontae Deangelis Archie, show a recent sexual battery conviction and that he appears on sex offender compilations. A profile on OffenderRadar lists a September 16, 2025 conviction for sexual battery and a registration entry in Forsyth County.
DoorDash policies and safety steps
DoorDash rules prohibit unwanted sexual advances and harassment and include an in-app process to report safety or legal concerns, according to DoorDash's community guidelines. Parents or guardians who experience or receive footage of a troubling interaction are advised to save the video, contact local law enforcement, and report the incident through the app so the company can investigate.
Legal context
A prior conviction that leads to registry status reflects earlier court findings. It does not automatically mean that new charges will follow in connection with this encounter. North Carolina’s sexual battery statute is codified at N.C. Gen. Stat. 14-27.33. At the time of publication, the reporting did not include a formal police statement about potential new charges, so it remains unclear whether investigators will pursue additional action beyond the call from the child’s mother.
The initial account was reported by Charlotte Alerts News, and registry information appears on OffenderRadar. We were not able to locate independent coverage from other local outlets or official statements from the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office or DoorDash at the time of publication. This story will be updated if authorities or DoorDash issue a formal response or if additional information becomes available.
