Clay County Pastor Turns Self in on Child Sex Warrant
By John Ingle
The pastor of Henrietta Church of Christ in Clay County is in the Archer County Jail Wednesday morning after he turned him self in on a warrant from Clay County. Archer County Sheriff Staci Beesinger said 50-year-old Robert Todd Davis turned himself in at 4:45 a.m. on a charge of sex abuse of a child/continuous victim under 14. The recommended bond placed on the warrant was set at $250,000 and Davis bonded out Wednesday morning. Clay County Sheriff Kenny Lemons said his office investigated an incident after an “outcry” by the victim. He said they completed their investigation in February and handed over their finding to the District Attorney’s Office. A Clay County grand jury recently indicted Davis on the charge. The indictment alleges the incidents happened between May of 2009 and May of 2013 and involved one act of sexual penetration and two acts of indecency. Davis was once employed at Henrietta Junior High School as a science teacher, the Times Record News has learned, but a person at the district’s administration office said he left in 2011. He was at some point employed at Wichita Christian School as an 11th-12th grade Bible teacher and served as the cross country coach. School Superintendent Tom Snell confirmed Davis’s employment by the school but said he was no longer with the school. He said the teacher/coach completed his duties as of Monday. When asked about whether or not he or others associated with the school knew about the Clay County warrant, the superintendent said, “We were — I really — I don’t really want to answer that question. I think we’re trying to be considerate for some other family members.” Snell said he had no further comments to offer on the topic. Follow John Ingle on Twitter at @inglejohn1973.
