Police Chief's Wife Gets 60 Days in Sex Case - Updated

(Coquille, Oregon) This week, 40-year-old police chief's wife Sonya Davis pleaded guilty to engaging in sex with a 17-year-old boy.

For her conviction on two counts of second-degree sexual abuse, Davis was sentenced by Circuit Court Judge Martin Stone to 60 days in the Coos County Jail.

Sex between an adult and a 17-year-old is a crime in Oregon because the teen is considered too young to give consent.

Among the people present at the arraignment were Davis' husband, Rhett, along with her two children and her nephew.

The victim's mother was also there. She got up to address the court but was able to say only that she felt sorry for her son and Davis' children.

"I don't know if I'm ready for this," she told the judge, tears streaming down her face.

In an interview later, she had angry words not only for Sonya Davis, but also for the police chief.

Davis will serve three years of probation upon release from jail. She was also ordered to register as a sex offender and complete a sex offender treatment program.

Police Chief's Wife Accused of Sex with Boy
[Previous 4/3/11 post]
(Powers, Oregon) A 40-year-old local police chief's wife, Sonya Davis, has been accused of engaging in sex with a 17-year-old boy. Rumors at Powers High School led to an investigation by Oregon State Police.

After initial denials from both Davis and the boy, Davis was indicted Thursday by a grand jury on six counts of sex abuse.

But on March 25, the boy's mother contacted the detective and said she and Davis' husband -- Powers Police Chief Rhett Davis -- had found evidence of a sexual relationship between Sonya Davis and the boy.

The mother showed the detective her son's cell phone, which had sexually explicit texts from Sonya's cell phone.

Rhett Davis informed the detective that Sonya Davis had told him she'd had sex with the boy.

When the detective interviewed Sonya Davis, she said she had had sex with the boy on four occasions, twice involving more than one act.

Sonya Davis was booked into custody at the Coos County Jail and subsequently released on her own recognizance.
