This new “case” was added to the existing cases prior to trial.ĭA Shaffer sought to join the cases for trial because of the overlapping evidence in each case. Officer Lama viewed DAVIS’s cell phone as well and was able to identify several images of a 15 year old female that showed her in a state of nudity or state of undress, some which were modified where a picture of the child was overlapped with a picture of male genitalia in such a way so as to depict illicit sexual conduct. Police obtained the phone from the victim and observed the images and video the child had received. The child was offered a cell phone in exchange for sending pictures to Davis and the child met with Davis in a parking lot where she was given the phone by Davis.
The images and video showed male genitalia and explicit conduct. A 12 year old female reported to Officer Lama that she had received more than 25 images and videos from Davis after he began contacting her over Snapchat.
In a separate investigation, Bradford City Police Officer Tony Lama learned that a student reported to a school recourse officer her concerns about Davis’ contact with younger students at Fretz. Officer Shelby Walters also interacted with Davis and assumed the identity of the child.
Davis, believing it to be the child, continued to send sexually provocative texts and sent two pictures of his genital and a video of his genitalia. Officer Gustin assumed the identity of the 13 or 14 year old child and continued the communication with Davis. When the messages from Davis began to be sexually provocative, the mother contacted Bradford City Police.
The child’s mother testified that she began receiving messages from Davis (who thought he was communicating with the child) where Davis said he knew the “child” was 13 or 14 and admitted that he was 28 years old. The adult relative reported that she gave Davis the telephone number of the child’s mother but told Davis it was the child’s telephone number. The joint investigation by several Officers with the City of Bradford Police began on April 22, 2021, when Bradford City Police Officer Matthew Gustin received a report that Davis had inquired about a young girl from her adult relative and asked the adult relative for the child’s telephone number. (SMETHPORT, Pennsylvania, July 20, 2023): District Attorney Stephanie Vettenburg-Shaffer reports that former Bradford and Port Allegany man Aaron DAVIS – convicted in January of 84 counts including Unlawful Contact with a Minor, Obscene Materials to a Minor, and Child Pornography – was sentenced to a period of state incarceration of 75 years to 150 years during a sentencing hearing today at the McKean County Courthouse.
