BEDFORD MAN CHARGED WITH SEXUALLY ASSAULTING 14-YEAR-OLD

Bedford resident Scott Davis, Jr. has been accused of sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl last year at a home in Juniata Township. Following the assault, Davis allegedly told the girl not to say anything, because it would “ruin his life.” A warrant had been issued for his arrest, but police were unable to make contact with him for several months. After he was taken into custody on a probation violation, he was charged with the assault counts, and is now in jail, with bail set at $100,000.
