A 53-year-old Pelzer man accused of sexually abusing a child for years beginning when she was just 5 years old is being held without bond in the Greenville County Detention Center. Brett Anthony Davis was arrested Thursday and charged with three counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct with a minor and one count of unlawful conduct toward a child.
According to WYFF4, the Mauldin Police Department arrested Davis on Oct. 22 on the four charges. Police allege the abuse occurred from 2003 to 2006, starting when the child was 5 years old, and that Davis lived in Mauldin at the time of the alleged crimes.
Investigators accuse Davis of forcing the child to perform sexual acts on him, exposing her to pornography, and forcing her to perform other non-sexual acts described by police as a source of entertainment or control, per the same report. The allegations span several years and describe a pattern of abuse that authorities say began when the victim was still in early childhood.
Arrest Made With Help From Sheriff's Office
The arrest was carried out with assistance from the Greenville County Sheriff's Office, according to WJCL. Davis is currently being held at the Greenville County Detention Center on no bond, the station notes.
Per WSPA 7News, Davis was arrested Thursday and remains denied bond following the allegations. The outlet's report, authored by Nikolette Miller, confirms the same charges and jail status reported by other Upstate media.
Case Remains Under Investigation
No additional details about a bond hearing, defense response, or future court proceedings have been made public. The case remains in its early stages following the arrest, and it is not yet known whether additional charges will be filed.
