MOBILE, Alabama -- A 33-year-old man remained jailed Friday after he was accused of forcing a 13-year-old girl to have sex with him, Mobile County District Court and Mobile County Metro Jail records show.

According to a complaint filed by prosecutors, authorities believe the abuse began in June 2009, when the child was 8 years old. The abuse ended on Dec. 24, six days before deputies booked 33-year-old Tavares LeJames Davis into jail, according to court records.

Davis faces charges of first-degree rape, second-degree rape, sexual abuse of a child less than 12 years old and second-degree sexual abuse.

The alleged abuse took place in Eight Mile, according to investigators.

Detectives were called to a local hospital on Dec. 24 after the girl came in suffering from injuries apparently sustained during the sexual assault, said Mobile County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Lori Myles.

She added that Davis confessed to the abuse and that detectives are investigating to determine whether the attacks started before 2009.

Jail records show Davis has been arrested five other times since 2001, although he has no other sexual offenses on his record.

On Friday he was being held in jail for safekeeping on behalf of authorities in Mississippi and Baldwin County.

In Baldwin County, authorities signed a warrant for his arrest in November 2014 after he failed to appear in court while facing one count of driving with a suspended license.

The Mississippi charges were not immediately known.
