The San Luis Obispo Police Department referred the case to the District Attorney’s Office for review of the evidence and to make a decision on whether charges can be filed. On Thursday, June 28th the District Attorney’s Office filed felony charges against Jonathan Oscar Davis (DOB 02/02/1975) for annoying or molesting a child under 18 after having been convicted of a prior sex crime. This is a violation of Penal Code section 647.6(c)(2). It is also alleged that Jonathan Oscar Davis was previously convicted of felony child molestation in two prior cases in 2006, and of first-degree burglary, a violent felony, in a third prior case from 2001.
