The Oklahoma Attorney General's office has opted not to bring criminal charges against Oklahoma County Commissioner Myles Davidson after reviewing a 2025 sexual battery allegation. The move effectively closes the door on the state's criminal probe, even as civil or administrative questions about Davidson's conduct remain unresolved. Davidson, who has denied the accusations, continues to serve in his elected role as county commissioner, as reported by The Oklahoman.
AG Bows Out Of Criminal Case
According to The Oklahoman, Attorney General staff said press secretary Leslie Berger confirmed that a "thorough review" of the Oklahoma City Police Department investigation did not turn up enough evidence to support criminal charges. The decision, published Friday, closes the state's involvement on the criminal side of the case.
Allegations And Protective-Order Filings
The allegations first became public in September 2025, when a county employee filed for protective orders against Davidson and his wife. She alleged he groped her in May and made unwanted advances during a July work trip, according to reporting by NonDoc. The court filings, which included text-message screenshots, were later amended to accuse Davidson of sexual assault, prompting an Oklahoma City Police Department inquiry and a wave of local scrutiny last fall.
Davidson Denies Claims As Pressure Mounts
Davidson's attorney has called the accusations "categorically false," and the commissioner temporarily handed over his chair duties while the matter played out, KOCO reported. Residents and Del City leaders publicly demanded his resignation during Oklahoma County commission meetings last fall, according to News On 6. The Attorney General's decision closes the criminal chapter but leaves the political and public-relations fallout very much alive.
Criminal Case Closed, Fallout Still In Play
The Attorney General's statement, as described by The Oklahoman, focused strictly on whether the evidence met the threshold for criminal prosecution. It did not address the merits of any civil claims or potential administrative complaints. That leaves the door open for other legal actions or county-level steps that are separate from the AG's determination.
What To Watch Next
Davidson remains in office, and his District 3 webpage still highlights recent activity and public outreach efforts by his office, according to Oklahoma County. The next phase will play out in public meetings and court filings, where any new civil actions, administrative moves, or commission motions could reshape Davidson's future on the board.
