FORREST CITY, AR – Police say a Forrest City, Arkansas man has been charged with raping his 8 day-old baby.

According to a police report, officers were called to the Forrest City Medical Center, September 1, 2008, about a baby that had been sexually assaulted. Forrest City police say the baby also had a skull fracture and had to be transferred to the Arkansas Children’s Hospital in Little Rock because of the severity of the injuries.

Investigators say the father attacked the infant during a visit at her 15 year-old mother's house. Police say other people were at the home at the time of the assault.

Police say Davis had no criminal record since turning 18, but could not say whether Davis had a juvenile RAP Sheet. The information could not be released under Arkansas state law, said investigators.

Police say the infant’s father, 18 year-old Reginald Davis, has been charged with Rape and Second-Degree Battery. The case is still under investigation and it is unknown if any other arrests will be made, said Forrest City Police.

Davis is being held on a $100,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in circuit court on September 17.

I have never been more embarassed than I am tonite. I read these posts of racialism and wonder what happened to those that leant a hand out on 9/11. What happened to those hearts that cared for each other during our flood this year. What happened to those wonderful souls that gave their homes as refuge of the victims from the hurrincane in New Orleans. This is not meant to be a story of what color the skin of the man was, that raped the innocence from this baby. It was a story to remind us all, that there are some really lost souls out there. I am of white skin, but my soul is all colors. My soul once had to go on foodstamps. I am proud of it too. I worked hard til one day I could no longer meet my childrens needs. So, I applied. And yes, I took them. I was a rape victim. My own father. He was of white skin. I must be some sort of magnet to parasites of this nature, but those were all white skinned men too. I later found a white skinned soul I had known in my business, had molested his stepdaughter. It's a universal disease. I hate it. But each one of those people are held accountable. We are a universe of souls. Where do you want yours to be when it comes time to be held accounted for?

God won't have to take care of him. I gaurantee that once he hits population, in jail, the prisoners themselves will take care of him. The number one thing they hate out there is child molestors. They will beat or maybe even finish that man off. A Baby? I gaurantee it!! He won't make it to trial. Let alone get a chance to appear before a Judge!!

@praetorian- God has nothing to do with this case ok? Why blame God or put his name here as part or being responsible to this horrible circumstances? are you ok?? it is the negligence of the people that suppose to take care of the baby.. if they cared for the baby the incident would have never took place.. i hope the baby is alright..

ONYX60 After reading the first sentence,I immediately became sick to my stomach--at the present moment, words seems to fail me(I honestly can't find the words) and I'm a poet-but I have no words for this demonic behavior.I pray that the baby is doing well.
