A 21-year-old Miami man is in county custody without bond after police say a hidden recording device in a 10-year-old girl's bedroom captured evidence of abuse. Investigators say the girl's mother, suspicious something was wrong, placed the device in the child's room, and what she later found on the recording led straight to an arrest.
According to WSVN, the suspect is Alvin Davis, 21. He was arrested on charges of sexual battery on a minor by an adult and lewd or lascivious molestation. The arrest report states the alleged incident took place on Oct. 16, 2025, and that the child told investigators Davis had touched her inappropriately on multiple occasions. The report also notes Davis was transported to the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center, where he is being held without bond.
Where he's being held
The Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center is Miami-Dade County's primary detention facility for pretrial inmates. Miami-Dade Corrections' in-custody search and facility information pages describe TGK as a main hub for booking and detention for county arrests, according to Miami-Dade Corrections.
Legal context
Under Florida law, the charges Davis faces carry some of the toughest penalties on the books. Section 794.011 of the Florida Statutes defines sexual battery and includes enhanced penalties when the victim is under 12, while Chapter 800 addresses lewd or lascivious offenses involving minors. Depending on the evidence and specific allegations, prosecutors can seek lengthy prison terms, and in some situations the statutes allow for life or capital penalties, as outlined in Section 794.011 and Chapter 800.
What happens next
The arrest report is part of an active investigation, and upcoming court filings will detail any formal charges and arraignment dates as the case moves through the system. Authorities are asking anyone with information to contact the City of Miami Police Department's Public Information Office or the department's Special Victims Unit. Contact details and recent case updates are listed on the department's public news and information pages, according to the City of Miami Police Department.
