Henry Ddavidson 2

After three continuances, a 38-year-old Hutchinson man found guilty of attempted rape, aggravated indecent liberties with a child and aggravated criminal sodomy was given life sentences under Jessica’s Law on all three counts.

However, Judge Tim Chambers ran the sentences for Henry Davidson concurrent meaning he’ll be eligible for parole in 25-years.

The state wanted consecutive sentences because of the nature of the crimes while the defense wanted a departure from Jessica’s Law. Judge Chambers stated he couldn’t find any substantial or compelling reason to depart calling the defendant a danger to the community and to young girls. He says the crimes were violent offenses that was more about a sense of power then sexual gratification.

Davidson was convicted of molesting the 10-year daughter of a Hutchinson woman he was living with. The sexual abuse occurring in a time period between October of 2010 and September of 2012. At least that’s when the defendant lived with the alleged victim and her mother.

The victim said she was tied up with string when the inappropriate sexual encounters occurred. She alleges that it would occur as much as once a week. The child, now 11 also told the court that Davidson took a picture of her with his cell phone. The state presented the pornographic photo of the child found on his cell phone to the jury during the trial.

If by chance Davidson should ever get out of prison, he’ll be on lifetime parole.
