Convicted Felon With Possible Ties To Walnut Hill Surrenders On Child Sex Abuse Charge
August 24, 2021
A convicted felon wanted for child sexual abuse in Escambia County, Alabama, has surrendered to authorities.
The Escambia County (AL) Sheriff’s Office said 41-year old Thomas Benjamin Davis turned himself in Tuesday on charges of felony sexual abuse of a child less than 12-years old and for failure to appear.
On August 18, ESCO-AL asked for the public’s help in locating Davis, saying he has ties to Walnut Hill and Brewton.
Davis was booked into the Escambia County Detention Center in Brewton at 1:56 p.m. Tuesday. He is being held without bond.

You know what, DB? You make an excellent point. The guy is charged with a horrendous crime(s) but hasn’t yet been convicted. The courts will decide what becomes of him.
That said, this is a comments section. Unless you’re a moderator, you really don’t control things here.
D.B you said it all #1 I know this guy and I promise it will come out that hes innocent. Its a case of a scorned woman sad but true.i pray for this guy and his family. Its just a sad situation…I hope he beats this!!! God dont like ugly
@DB It’s difficult not to judge a person who has more than just one warrant out for their arrest and one is for failure to appear. On top of him being a convicted felon, yes, we ALL make mistakes but, the way to avoid being judged would be to stop making those mistakes. We all should ignore what people judge and worry about what God will judge.
You know something. I just love how people that say you shouldn’t judge people you don’t know and don’t like to be judged themselves, are always the people to immediately judge someone they don’t know. Did it ever cross your mind that they might be innocent? I recall that you are innocent until proven guilty. Would you want someone you know that got set up to be judged immediately by someone like you. No. You wouldn’t. Just remember. Innocent until proven guilty, by a jury of your peers, in a court of law is for everyone. And if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all. Words do have consequences too.
PcolaNative and Shirl, get your heads out of the beach sand. The urgency of a task force is indicative of the (far) above average number of child predators living in and around Escambia and Santa Rosa counties. They flock to where they have easiest access to innocent children and weaker, lazier law enforcement. Totally agree with you Panhandlers! I’ve lived in 6 states in 13 years and never known an area with this high of predatory statistic. Sadly, a problem that is decades long. Stop thinking about your ‘town pride’ and start putting yourself in the place of a child who has been the victim of unspeakable acts. Or, maybe to help you better understand, imagine how it would feel if the victim was YOUR beloved child!
@panhandler, Maybe!!! LE in those areas aren’t working as diligently to attack the problem as those here in the panhandle are doing. I comend our online predator task force for the excellent job they are doing, as well as the center for missing and exploited children. I don’t know how they are doing it and I don’t care, as long as they rid society of this vermin!!!
@children first that’s anywhere on planet earth, evil is everywhere!!! That’s why we must stay diligent…
Children First, what town are you talking about?
@ Shirl
Having lived in several states, I’ve never seen close to the volume of pedophile crime reported in this region.
This happens every where, it isn’t just here. They are the scum of the earth, anyone that would hurt a child should be hung.
The whole country has problems like this. Evil ppl live Evernote is not unique to NWFL.
Again, what a shame. A city rapidly (for a long while) declining into a deep, dark hole of epidemic drug abuse, trafficking and death, child predators, child murderers and senior citizen abusers. I wouldn’t live there again even if one of the Good Ole’ Boys gave me a (overpriced) home to live in, an expensive car or a bank account full of money. Thinking about moving to this town? Buyers Beware. Beyond the beautiful blue water and white sparkling sands lay dark, dark, ‘murky waters’.
A MEN WILLIAM, I’AM LIKE YOU. IF I WAS A JUDGE I WOULD MAKE IT FOR ALL TO SEE AT A HANDING TREE, AND MAYBE IT WOULD STOP THEM
I couldn’t agree more with you both, but I particularly agree with Susie, people who harm children should be eliminated from society and I do NOT mean send them to prison, but more like hang them from the nearest structure by their neck!!!
Lets find this guy.. He needs to be in jail
People of this ilk need total elimination from society. That’s a less vulgar way to say where they really belong. God bless and protect our children. I pray they catch this monster.
