Overview

  • David Boyd, 64, has been charged with repeated child sexual assault, trafficking, false imprisonment, and physical abuse after years of alleged crimes against two sisters, now aged 8 and 5.
  • Investigators began their probe in January 2025 after one victim disclosed the abuse to her foster parents, leading to a CPS report and subsequent police investigation.
  • Victims described being chained in Boyd's basement, starved, mutilated, and forced to drink water from a puddle; one victim alleged she was trafficked to multiple men for sex.
  • A search warrant executed on April 16 revealed physical evidence consistent with the victims' accounts, including chains, knives, and a piece of bread in the basement.
  • Boyd, who denies the allegations, is being held on $100,000 bail with a preliminary hearing scheduled for May 7 in Milwaukee County.
