Deputies have arrested a 22-year-old Bunnell man on charges of raping a 15-year-old boy.

Michael Anthony Davis, a resident of Peach Street, is charged with sexual battery on a child over the age of 12 — a first-degree felony. 

The 15-year-old’s mother told Flagler County Sheriff’s Office deputies that she went into her son’s bedroom at their home in Bunnell July 19 to check on him, and thought he was acting strange.

She noticed an open window, according to a Sheriff’s Office arrest report. When she walked over to shut it, she said, she saw Davis, who’d been a family friend, crouching naked beside her son’s bed.

She pulled the covers off her son’s bed, and saw that he was naked as well, she told deputies. The 15-year-old told her they had had oral sex. The mother kicked Davis out of the house and called 911, according to the arrest report.

The 15-year-old told a deputy that Davis had knocked on his bedroom window and said he wanted to talk to him. The teen let Davis into the room.

While they were sitting on the bed, Davis began touching the teen’s stomach and groin and then performed oral sex on him, the teen told deputies. The teen told deputies that he “did not know what to say” to Davis, so he did not say anything, according to the report. 

Davis stopped when the teen’s mother opened the bedroom door, the teen told deputies. The teen said that when his mother found them, both the teen and Davis had their clothes on. 

Davis told a deputy that he’d come over to the house to play video games, and that he hadn’t had any sexual contact with the teenager. A deputy who checked the teen’s room wrote in the report that there was no video game system in the room. Davis refused to give a DNA sample.

Deputies arrested him and took him to the Flagler County jail, where he remained as of the morning of July 26 on $15,000 bond.
