The investigation was launched in October when investigators received notice of possible sexual abuse of an 11-year-old, a 5-year-old, and a 4-year-old child.

“During the investigation, officers found significant evidence to support warrants signed for the listed charges,” said investigator Chris Stewart.

Davault is held at the Crenshaw County Jail without bond.
