Lennard Davis, 31, is accused of trafficking and sexually abusing children, in a case prosecutors say it partially based on self-produced child pornography video found on Davis’ phone.
OAKLAND — A judge has denied a motion for release from jail that argued a story by this news organization has led to jailhouse violence aimed at a man accused of sexually abusing and/or trafficking three teenage girls, court records show.
Judge James Cramer denied the motion, which sought to either release Davis or set bail so that he could put up money or property toward his release. He remains in Santa Rita Jail on a no-bail hold. The defense motion included three support letters from family members, which describe Davis as a responsible father and a compassionate man.
