Assistant U.S. Attorney Melissa M. Marangola, who is
handling the case, stated that between April 2017 and July 2018, the defendant,
a/k/a Hotdog, recruited Minor Victim 1 and Minor Victim 2 to engage in
commercial sex acts. Davis posted ads on “Cityxguide.com,” to entice customers
to engage in commercial sex acts with the minor victims. Cityxguide.com is a
website providing classified advertising across the United States and
internationally. Minor Victim 1 and Minor Victim 2 each engaged in commercial
sex acts and gave a portion of the profits the defendant. Davis knew that both
victims were under the age of 18.
The plea is the result of an investigation by the Federal
Bureau of Investigation Child Exploitation Task Force, under the direction of
Special Agent-in-Charge Stephen Belongia. Sentencing is scheduled for November
18, 2020, at 10:00 a.m. before Judge Siragusa.
