Overview
- Federal prosecutors charged 31-year-old Dandre Eric Davis after an undercover online operation detailed in newly released court documents.
- Investigators say the conversation began on Jan. 12 on a dating app and moved to Telegram, where two videos depicting sexual acts involving prepubescent boys were sent.
- Law enforcement reports that Davis identified himself as a D.C. public school employee, with employment confirmed at Luke C. Moore Opportunities Academy and later as an administrative aide at a D.C. high school.
- The FBI says phone records, social media profiles, a video call, and a prior booking photo matched Davis to the accounts used in the exchanges.
- The U.S. Attorney’s Office says Assistant U.S. Attorney Richard Kelley is prosecuting the case, and officials urged reporting of child exploitation via Project Safe Childhood.
